Ted Peterson is a sailor. He is a father and a friend, a husband and a romantic, a guitar player and a songwriter, and so much more. Among those close to him, he even bears the affectionate nickname Uncle Wisdom. There is plenty of wisdom in these pages. There is just as much not knowing too, and that's the part that moves me most. Through his eyes we glimpse the incomprehensible toll of war, from the various calls of duty to the late-night calls from Veterans in trouble. He takes us from wry barstool laughter to fighting back tears, from the immeasurable tragedy of a military family's loss to the startling beauty of human kindness or God's creation. He does it all with an unassuming, world-worn voice and the straight-backed discipline of someone who has served-and continues to serve-others.In this collection of poems, he meets indignities with dignity and discouragement with gentle courage. He reminds us that no person is their label, and no label defines a person.- Rob Seals - songwriter, producer - Co-Founder & Director, The Songwriting School of Los Angeles
