Jim Jordan Gives Poetry Reading at School Alumni Reunion

May 16, 2013 I was invited to give a poetry reading at the Gans, Oklahoma School Alumni Reunion. While I didnt' graduate from Gans High School, I did attend there in the 8th grade in 1967-68. Due to the wonders of Facebook, I have reconnected with some of my former classmates and was asked by someone on the Reunion Committee if I would present a reading of some of my poetry to this year's reunion. It was an honor to get the chance to share some of my work as a writer with them. I would like to thank my classmate and dear friend Karen Brant-Hibdon for the invitation. I had a great time.

DANCE OF THE DIVINE

I have a new poetry book out called Dance of the Divine. It is dedicated to my wife Jan who dances the divine dance with me each and every day.

It is currently available at my publisher Lulu.com.

The following is the preface from the book.

The Dance of the Divine is one each of us does every day
of our lives. It is the Divine Dance of life itself. It is the
beginning, the middle, and the end of all that we encounter.
It is the journey of joy and happiness, laughter and love,
as well as pain and heartache, suffering and loss.

It is also a spiritual journey that leads us on a search of
who we are and how we fit into the grand scheme of the
great cosmos.

Our ballroom is the universe, and our universe is but a
molecule of something greater than we can imagine.

We are energy, vibrating
and dancing; electrons and neutrons – man and woman,
engaged in the Dance of the Divine.
