This book is one of my mother’s inspiration, she named me Dwight after a journalist who used to visit the home with one of my uncle. So I discovered my gift for writing and penmanship from about 5 yrs old . This book is a combination of some very first writings and some very new ones . I tried to basically touch on all faucets of life , so came about the title :glimpses through time . As humans we evolve , it’s never constant, life is like a bicycle , you pedal and you learn to balance in order to pivot or propel, so as to attain. My hope is to stimulate and to engender an awakening of the expression within all of us.
