Book Description

My name is James Patrick Esquibel. I am a 40 year old man who has resided in the United States my entire life. I have had the opportunity to live in various states such as Idaho, Florida, California, Texas and different areas of New Mexico where I have spent most of my life. As the saying goes There is no place like home and now I find myself currently living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. New Mexico has a spiritual connection within me because of it's geological beauty. The mountains, rivers, lakes, animals and weather has fed my inner peace. Since the early age of 18 I have loved to write and release my emotions in poetic lyrical form. This form of therapy helped me to relate to past childhood memories some of which included abuse, neglect, the loss of loved ones and times of happiness. I never expected to publish this material as a book. My real intentions were putting together my own band and learning how to play the drums. Instead of choosing a life style of sex, drugs and Rock-n-roll which is known to be a part of a musicians life. I had felt a career on the road would have been too much for a simple soul like me. After experiencing my first child's birth I then realized how precious life is so I decided to be a family man. There is more contentment and satisfaction in raising children and being a good husband. Unfortunately life is so short and we must do all we can to make something good happen for ourselves and the ones we love. Never give up on dreaming and know if you put your mind, heart and soul towards anything oneself can make the impossible happen. Peace! (longhair) JPE
