{"product_id":"among-the-reeds","title":"Among the Reeds","description":"My effort at writing poetry started several years ago while I was a field hunting geese. It was a beautiful winter day that offered limited shooting, but presented a golden opportunity to sit back and reflect. I was overcome by all the glories of the wild outdoors with which I was surrounded. The song of the wild kept repeating itself in my mind until I was compelled to write it down. From that point on, I was hooked. In the years that followed, I was able to use the poetry to fully express the happiness that I felt participating in hunting and the conservation efforts. The experience of writing led me to the less traveled trail of inner reflection. Several years after starting my hunting poems, I had the great misfortune to become disabled. My life as I knew it had ended, and I faced an unsure and frightening future. With much loving care of family and friends, I was able to overcome my anger at my fate to reflect upon those things that really mattered. During this period, my writing fully reflects my life journey down a somewhat different path. My Odyssey continues.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0595200591\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0595200591.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hellmann, C.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
