Sobre IBD

Much of life is about trying to bring order out of chaos. While thatisn’t always possible, bringing a fresh look to the storms of life canbring order and peace to our inner worlds. These poems range fromlight-hearted to serious, but the themes are universal even when thetopics are specific.A simple definition of entropy is that there is a general trend of theuniverse toward death and disorder. This is the reality of the worldin which we live, so our challenge every day is to defy that secondlaw of thermodynamics in whatever way we can. Let these poemsspeak to you about hope.
