Richard Theodor Kusiolek's recent book- "Deborah Moon" is a unique selection of poems written by members of the "STAR" inner motivational Stanford University experiment in Silicon Valley's Palo Alto, CA. Today, we believe that women of the NOW Movement, that I championed as a Grad Student living in the Haight-Ashbury of San Francisco, found their woman warrior spirit by being elevated by Affirmative Action into top level Management positions at Google, Yahoo, PayPal, Facebook, and Twitter. Others focused not on corporation titles and million-dollar salaries. They did not need to "break Hillary Clinton’s glass ceilings," but to fully love life as they found it in the moment.
These are a series of poems that I wrote and edited over the years from my Palo Alto California experiences invited in a Spiritual Awakening feminist workshop named, “STAR”. It is generally recognized that most physical ailments are caused or aggravated by mental health episodes. As so many struggled during 1970’s and now 2021 to define themselves, they struggled with inner awareness and poetry became a “soft voice” to define a woman's inner Star. Deborah Moon only wished to move within the cycle of nature and her love of Great Blue Herons that nested in the marsh near the Palo Alto Airport. She placed her feet into the marsh mud to experience a natural life when a time was simply not defined by harsh political divisions. Hence, as a sweet innocent spirit, she turned to Poetry to define herself and those she loved. She believed that a man would be attracted to her inner beauty and the vibrations of her yearnings to flow and fly in a soft cloud. These poems reflect a young woman’s inner quest for meaning and love.
