Most spend their younger years establishing careers and starting a family. Often, the passions that are most precious to us in our youth lose their place in adulthood due to time restrictions and obligations. As time goes on and life gets even busier, it is easy to lose track of the most important things. We should always remember to save time for family, dreams, and nature, all of which can significantly contribute to happiness.

Hunter fills his prose with selective, heavy-hitting impressions which beautifully portrays that which many of us experience on any given day. ‘Soft And Gentle 12’ will deeply touch those relating to the happiness of love or the sadness of losing love or loved ones; it will move those acknowledging the beauty of nature and help them realize that we need to love and preserve it; it will motivate those aspiring to enhance their life through their own positive efforts; and it will inspire those refusing to let life’s challenges get in the way of pursuing and achieving their dreams.
This versatile, heartfelt collection of 200 pieces of concise prose poetry will relax and mellow the heart as it explores life, love, beauty, nature, happiness, hardships, dreams, and nostalgic memories.

Om författaren
Jim is the youngest of eleven children and grew up on a farm near the rural small town of Metamora, Indiana. His parents started their life together just before the Great Depression, so their values and principles were a reflection of those difficult times. Their children were raised under old-school discipline, much different than today’s standards. They were raised on hard work, but they were clever and innovative enough to find time for hard play as well. They adopted many of their parents’ values and were served well by them. That same family farm where they were raised still resides in the family over a hundred years after the grandparents settled there. Jim’s love for the land led to him owning part of that farm for 50 years and still counting. He also owned much of the valley surrounding it for much of his life. Growing up and living with nature in that valley has provided the backdrop and powerful inspiration for much of his writing.
