Gratitude Journey

For over 45 years, Ocean Shackleton has been on a journey of inner transformation. Having participated many years ago in personal growth workshops, he recently decided to re-enter that arena. Choosing to be a part of creating "peace in our time," he completed all the work in "The Gratitude Training," an intensive, three-part exercise in personal transformation.
These poems reflect that long inner journey. Written over several years, they contain his insights into his relationship with himself, the people in his life and the higher power at work in his life.
Steps in his journey included grieving, self-evaluation, forgiveness, awareness of the power of words, gratitude, love and the constant presence of a powerful, loving intelligence in his life. These poems offer insights that will uplift and inspire you along your journey
