Self Portrait, today, in my work van after a deck building job ended

Portrait of a Seeker: Born to Wonder

Andrée is painting this portrait-in-the-works for the cover, from a photo taken in Brittany, France, 2010.

Portrait of a Seeker: 

Born to Wonder

Destiny, Idealism,

Living Internationally

and my Search for Meaning 

 by David W. Weimer

This book is “done.”  The reason for the quotation marks is that nothing is ever done, I just stop working on it…

A shorter, more focused version of Portrait is considering entering this world in Spring 2012.  More later.

For now, I’ve just sent a 575-page manuscript to Cindy, a kind, kind friend who is helping me typeset this book in preparation for a galley printing in November, this year.

By the first of December 2011, a long- awaited book, Portrait of a Seeker, will be available for purchase at an Amazon.com website near you!  Hip, hip, hooray!

Born to Wonder (book excerpt)

This is from my upcoming book, Portrait of a Seeker, excerpted from correspondence with a friend.  I printed two sample copies of Portrait today; man is it big--it's a phone book!  A galley proof will come out next month (after proofreading and typesetting) and a first edition printing is scheduled for the first of December.  Contact me for more information. -DW  

I feel that I have lived my potential; I accomplished something that I was born to do. It was accomplished. Not by me. I’m not the director; I’m a bystander observer. I was born to be a dreamer, a wonderer of things. I’m not implying a designer’s intentions in my makeup, although it could be there. It is just apparent that I am a certain shape and color. Fat people are fat, etc. I have always, always looked for the deep, true meaning of everything. I always felt that IT, the answer, the real reality, was there, somewhere, but people seemed contented chasing after stuff that I was convinced they knew didn’t matter.
