Your Invitation
You are invited to come on this journey with me so long as
you do not want to find a set of ultimate truths in a pathway that leads to a
closed system. My journey is one of becoming.
It is a journey of liberation and not of
belonging.
All you need to take on this journey is:
It should be clearly understood that my written works were undertaken for my own education. While copyright has never been sought, acknowledgements are usually made in the text and or in bibliographies.
The Voyage of my Life
By Mark Oliver Smith
Voyage with Odysseus
Across the seven seas,
Or be another Orpheus
In search of Euridices
Wander with a Dante
For a Beatrice in your hell;
Be exiled as an Adam
The same story you will tell: –
The search is all for meaning,
A pot of shining gold,
A life brimful of adventure,
A journey for the bold!
Landscape and Inscape
I have divided my records into two parts via ‘The Landscape’
and ‘The Inscape’. In the Landscape I have provided a historical record of my
genealogical forebears and a geographical record where they lived and where I
lived and travelled. It is a record of what an outside observer could see. On
the other hand, the Inscape records what only I thought and what secret motives
I had. It is a very subjective report of what an outside observer could only
surmise or deduce about me. It is my inner life.
