Trinity Bradley Bates

Basic goodness means being good to yourself and others, yet we so often forget this simple truth. Too busy with the harried nature of life, we overlook quiet moments of calm in which we are given the opportunity to be kind. Those opportunities slip by unnoticed when they could be embraced and the goodness shared.

Trinity is a collection of poems meant to reinvigorate the goodness in us all. Utilizing imagery, sensory devices, and poetic techniques, Bradley Bates creates a world of good in which love and kindness are treasured virtues. It is truly an experiential book as the reader gleans what they can and applies those teachings to his or her everyday lives.

The world is a cruel place, but that is no excuse for acting with cruelty when goodness achieves so much more. As we make kindness a practiced skill, we will notice not only a change in ourselves but in others, as well, as goodness spreads. It's never too late to change the way you look at the world, so slow down and enjoy the sensation of feeling good and being good, too.
