What Comes to Mind

Thoughts That Turn Into Themes

By Garry Glidden

View author's profile page

Overview


Embark on a journey through reflection, observation, and the quiet alchemy of thought. Through vivid imagery and careful attention to the world around us—from the drifting clouds in "Clouds Above the Hill" to the intimate acts of caregiving in "Etch-A-Sketch"—each poem and prose piece sparks self-reflection, ethical awareness, and mindfulness. Some poems examine growth, accountability, and the unfolding potential within our lives, while others contain moments of humor that reveal the insight hidden in ordinary life. Rather than prescribing meaning, "What Comes to Mind" encourages readers to notice their own thoughts and emotions. Each page becomes both mirror and lens, a space to explore connection with oneself, others, and the natural world.

Within these pages, you will encounter self-reflection, find meditations on growth and intention, reminders of the power of purpose and the quiet work of becoming. Some pieces, grapple with morality, compassion, and the limits of control—encouraging readers to look inward as well as outward; while other works celebrate the simple, vivid details of life. This book asks you to pay attention: to notice what comes to mind, to explore the connections between thought and theme, and to reflect on your own responses. Each piece is a starting point, a mirror or a lens, offering the chance to consider life, memory, morality, and the world around us. Welcome to a space where your thoughts shape the reading experience, where reflection becomes understanding, and where every page offers a new lens through which to see yourself and the world. "What Comes to Mind" is not just a collection of words—it is a conversation, and your mind is invited to participate.
