George has written and published two books, "In Search Of The Hidden Treasure" ISBN #0-9634591-0-4 and "The Tao Of Tribute Money" ISBN #0-9634591-1-2. The whole world is restless and confused. It will always be so as long as man sets his ideals on the wrong objects. There will be no happiness until man learns what he seeks comes from within himself.

 
The Hidden Treasure 
"The Pearl of Great Worth"

There is a hidden Treasure, 
Most search for it in vain. 
It comes down from heaven. 
And it falls like the rain. 

This treasure is not one of silver, 
This treasure is not one of gold. 
The source of this hidden treasure, 
Lies deep within one's soul. 

A treasure more precious than silver, 
A treasure more precious than gold. 
To find this hidden treasure, 
You must look within your soul.

Immortality  
"Eternal Love" 

We search when young, we search when old, 
All search to find an intangible goal. 
Thoughts of love and spirits bright 
Bring joys and beauties of heaven in sight. 

Feasts of silver and feasts of Gold, 
Greed and envy hide the soul. 
Toil and sweat, grief and pain, 
Misery and hunger will not remain. 

Time will come when all must die, 
And find their soul at evening's tide. 
With this spirit, the search will cease, 
For this love is God, eternal peace.

Rebirth 
Enlightenment  
An Elevated State of Consciousness  

A Full-majestic moon- 
Radiates a beauty, 
Over the vast turbulent sea. 
A veil is lifted! - A soul is free! - 
To walk - the beach in radiant light. 
A spirit that blows across the water, 
Stirring up the waves as - 
A heart is stirred by the thoughts of love; 
Moving the ocean - to the shore - 
With waves that pulsate a desire to be - 
Sea oats - in the sand dunes of time. 
Swaying-Reaching- 
For the warmth of the Sun, 
A longing to procreate, 
A reunion with-God
