As a practicing psychotherapist for more than three decades, it is Tim’s love of language that predominantly fueled the endless passion for his professional life. His intellectual labor clearly contributed to the creation of meaning in defining his life overall. It is truly a blessing never to be forgotten to experience endless joy and to feed one’s spirit having engaged in a life’s work with those with whom there was unbridled trust, thus allowing others to enact positive changes in living their life.
Tim is also a lover of the arts and travel, particularly music, playing hand percussion, sitting in with other musicians around the world and frequently in New Orleans in particular. It is hoped that he brings his innate sense of rhythm as well to this collection of poetry.
This book of poetry represents another expression of his unbridled joy in using language and it is hoped that these words will resonate so sweetly with others.

Ingram’s writing and life are at the nexus of words and emotion, always a short distance from the heart. He deconstructs the essence of interactions and thoughts to take us to a higher plane of understanding. In this meditative work, his unparalleled verbal skills and psychotherapeutic knowledge are put in service of deep introspection and artistic beauty. This is a delightful, thoughtful and profound read. It should not be missed by those who wonder how we exist at our deepest and most vulnerable level.
