In this new collection of poetry, written after retirement from his scientific career, author Nirander M. Safaya portrays the thrills and challenges of life in general and of love in particular.
Reflections on Being Human shows how our ordinary needs and experiences lead us to the light of self-knowledge. Divided into three thematic sections-Life, Love, and Light-these verses provide a thought-provoking panoramic view of the pragmatic, romantic, and spiritual aspirations that lie at the core of human nature. In parts I and II, Safaya seeks to capture the feelings, moods, and perplexing questions invoked by the fundamental conditions of our being. In part III, he reflects on the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of human nature and experience, necessary aspects of the search for true peace and happiness.
Appealing and uplifting, this collection presents 152 poems reminiscent of classical poetry and expressing the joys and sorrows of life and love and the saving grace of light.
