The One

by Bob Mustin

A complete poetic piece in three parts juxtaposing romantic love with the spiritual journey.The first part, Divisions, hints at the traits and experiences that divide us while promising a reunification of the human experience into The One. The second part, Encounters, fulfills the journey toward human unity as a couple express their love for one another. And finally, the third part, The Union, allows the reader to experience the exhilaration of spiritual Unity, which is absolute and enduring freedom.

About the author

I've had a brief naval career and a longer one as a civil engineer in Georgia. During the early '90s, I was the editor of a small literary journal, The Rural Sophisticate, based in Georgia. In 2003, I was a North Carolina Writers Network writer-in-residence at Peace College under the late Doris Betts' guiding hand. My work has appeared in The Rockhurst Review, Elysian Fields Quarterly, Cooweescoowee, Under The Sun, Gihon River Review, Reflections Literary Journal, and at thesquaretable.com, raving dove, Sport Literate, The Externalist, Language and Culture, and R.KV.R.Y in electronic form. I also have two novels and one novella to my credit. A collection of connected short stories will be published late in 2012 or early 2013.
