UNDERSTANDING THE DARKNESS
to see the Light
by Garry L. Smith

Overview

This book is the first of a series about the joy and power of understanding the misbehavior of others to guide us through difficult times. Understanding the Darkness, to See the Light identifies the dark side of some of life's compromising situations and allows an avenue for you to see the light. Each poem gives a quick abstruse view of trials and tribulations that we might recognize either within others or within ourselves, ending with a word of encouragement to continue to seek happiness. Please do not get too wrapped around the issue itself but focus on the point that we must remain hopeful and continue to seek deliverance. There comes a point in our lives when we need to re-evaluate where we are and how we got there and then reach deep within ourselves to find that treatment, belief, or whatever we have left to overcome. This is not a book of answers to life's situations, but it gives you something to think about and lets you know that you are not alone.

My main objective for writing this book is to bring awareness to some of the common and uncommon situations and personalities thus giving a little hope in this world as we know it today. The second of this series, "The Road to Inner Peace", will examine these types of situations as written in book one and set a course of action to alleviate the effect. The third will be based on the joy of living in peace. My desire is that it will open eyes to reality and how to see the world in a critical and moral way.

About the author

Garry L. Smith is an Air Force Veteran, Playwright, Poet, and community servant. Born in a small rural area of Northeast Arkansas, Garry was very innovative and curious about life's opportunities and expectations from both a personal and perceived point of view. He does his best writing in his backyard under an old paloverde tree but wherever he is inspired, he will quickly take out his phone and text himself notes of inspirational thoughts. Garry has always enjoyed writing about life lessons, but he was encouraged to share his writing with the world after a family member collected a few of his poems and demanded that he publish them. His work cross multiple disciplines that broadly address narratives of human experience. As a playwright, Garry wrote, directed, and produce a play titled "Walk with Me". "Walk with Me," is a play about a Desert Storm veteran with the intention to spread the awareness of PTSD and the effects it has on the family, friends, and community. It's a story of hope and overcoming adversity. Although disciplined with an Associate Degree in Aircraft Technology, a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Science, a Master's Degree in Professional Aeronautical, and a DBA Doctoral candidate, but he bases his writing on the most profound educational institution called Life. He believes that life's struggles and experiences have hard-wired the human brain to seek out negativity. For instance, a person can drive by 50 miles of beautiful sceneries and not see it because of the anticipation of something negative such as a traffic jam ahead. Where is the peace? We often overlook in by seeking negativity. This publication is one of a series beginning with "Understanding the Darkness, to See the Light", which brings awareness to the darkness in life, "The Road to Inner Peace" thus focuses on the plan to attain peace and a series dedicated to the glory or living in peace. It is a pleasure to share my work with the hope it will somehow inspire someone to achieve righteousness and peace.
