MANGROVE SEED CHRONICLES - Learning To Trust


MANGROVE SEED CHRONICLES --Learning To Trust uses the biological journey of a mangrove seed as a metaphor to represent the human journey from childhood innocence into adulthood.


A baby mangrove seed is washed out into the ocean during a hurricane. fear engulfs the mangrove seed.  It is powerless against the strong waves, has no directions for surviving in the ocean.  The seed has lost all its friends and safety of the mangrove forest.

Through many animal characters visited on four mangrove islands, the lost seed learns to balance its fears with trust.  The book provides principles of balanced living that parents, teachers, and grandparents may use to dialogue with children.


The 64 page, four color illustrated book was published in 2007 for children of all ages. It can be especially beneficial to adolescents and young adults because it includes many thought provoking questions for personal reflection and group discussion. 


As a blueprint, CHRONICLES can be a catalyst and guide for character and values education.

As a fable, it can encourage both children and adults to apply the lessons to their personal life situations.


There are no absolute answers in the book, only guideposts to the truth 

 

hidden within each person.

Ultimately, MANGROVE SEED CHRONICLES--Learning To Trust promotes serious 

 

reflection, dialogue and, hopefully, ethical personal living 

 

in our imbalanced, stressful, and fearful world.

THE WAY OF THE MANGROVE SEED --

Living A Balanced Lifestyle


THE WAY OF THE MANGROVE SEED -- Living A Balanced Lifestyle is a 175 page paperback written in 2010.  As a memoir, it outlines the "identity quest" of a "pilgrim who had lost his way," and, as a monograph, explains both the rationale and process for a unique way of personal living . . . The Way Of The Mangrove Seed. The book reflects the author's personal findings about how to live 
a balanced, authentic, and ethical life.
During his twenty-two year "identity quest" that began at the age of 45, he searched down many "roads less traveled" to find his answers to deep questions:

                    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FULLY HUMAN?
                    WHAT IS LIFE REALLY ALL ABOUT?

His key discoveries involved learning to rebalance the rational and intuitive aspects of his mind, and how to live authentically based on the two principles of S(s)elf acceptance and genuine caring.

THE WAY OF THE MANGROVE SEED reveals a unique, holistic model
by which any person can live a fully actualized and balanced lifestyle.

The model presents a process, a pathway, and a plan about how to live
in six areas of daily living . . . 
emotional, physical, mental, social, spiritual, and practical.

Although the book is a personal statement, the rationale and process can be applied by anyone in their daily living.
