Angels, Trees, You and Me (ePub)

      Joseph Pio Asterita discovered meditation early in life and has used this skill to quiet himself while in silent forests, hectic business meetings, or while flying through severe weather.  Seeing the inner mystic world in daily life led Joseph to discover that many joys in life lie hidden beneath the surface just waiting to be discovered. Joseph started writing poetry in the 1990’s.  A profound experience started his intimate communing with nature. While visiting Glastonbury Cathedral in England, he stood under an ancient pine tree which spoke to him in clear words. “How lucky you are to travel around the world to experience many things while I stay in this same place for hundreds of years.”   His experiences continued while hiking through the mountains in upstate New York.  He felt a deep inner peace standing next to the giant oaks and maples that covered the mountainsides. More words of nature came to him.  His nightly meditations inspired him about angels and the spirituality of mankind. All this he put into poetry which he compiled in his book, Angels,Trees,You and Me. 

       Joseph’s diverse background brings a flourishing richness to his writings.  He has written magazine articles and his poems have been published in Innerworks and the New Warrior Journal  magazines. He also wrote numerous training manuals and operational procedures during the thirty years he worked for the corporate world. Joseph is a healing practitioner specializing in biofeedback and subtle energy work.  His flying experiences have logged three thousand hours of flight time and he has also retired from the Air Force Reserves. Besides a degree in management, he holds two professional titles.  He is an outdoorsman and scuba diver.  Joseph currently lives in the rolling farm lands of North Carolina.
