50 PEACE MOSAIC OF THIS MAN’S PANE, authored by James Randolph, is a collection of works that began in his professional and personal infancy. His pens and pencils began to cover pages as they covered his life.

The title is deciphered as he is a 50-plus-year-old male who has learned how to create or seek calm and understanding by taking time to view social situations through the application of his own views as they make his points and others as they direct him to their point or need. Some pieces in this first installment were his attempts to crawl into the being of the subject to ascertain how they were affected by what, when, how, why, and where of specific situations or topics.

This Philadelphiason thanks you beforehand. You are the holder of the eyes and hands that are currently caressing his work.

You picked it up. Now open it! What does the exclamation point mean after that word? It has relevance to this book.

He encourages the new owner of this book to engage as they encounter intense feelings and thoughts about each piece. He asks you, the reader, to focus on solutions to his situations and sometimes accept those that may be unacceptable.

He is asking you to relive his moments of choice and possibly relieve you as you are empowered to do what he did or did not do. James invites you and others to read the pages of the item you are caressing and wonder about its worth.

To James, each piece is worthy. Throughout his works, you might find something missing or something that is relative to your own experiences, but he was unable to encompass your spirit of life, and therefore, it is incomplete by your standards.

And if that happens, James feels he will have accomplished a goal to get you hooked as you explore an individual’s thoughts about serving and being served, challenging and being challenged, losing and being lost, loving and having no one to love. He wants you to jump into and at his words and phrases.

James wants you to question the existence of such experiences. He wants you to take a chance at encountering a thought or phrase that causes your mind to linger or recount a situation for more than a few seconds too long.

What if you decide and wish you had lingered more than reacted? His words are not always angry; many are nurturing and understanding multiplied by the reality of living. He realizes his body of work is not intended to hurt you or anyone else, but it may do just that, as you may have to encounter your reality through his experiences or those of your loved ones.
