Hal O'Leary
The Quest
Since time began, our quest has been
to find a source of happiness.
Philosophers, Psychologists
and Seers cannot agree,
but I proclaim there are but two.
Anticipation comes before.
with recollection in its wake.
The first takes precedence in youth,
replaced with recall as we age.
Bio
Hal O'Leary is an eighty-five year old veteran of WWII, who has since come to recognize that all wars have been instigated by profit seekers. As a Secular Humanist, and having spent a life-time in theatre, Hal believes that only through the arts, and in particular poetry, are we afforded an occasional glimpse into the otherwise incomprehensible. He is the recent recipient of an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from West Liberty University.
