Autorenporträt
Ken Westdorp was born and raised in Surrey, BC. In the last decade he moved to the Whalley neighbourhood of this fast-growing Western Canadian city. There, he took notice of the bleak poverty around the area and determined, with his wife, Ardita, to not turn away. They became involved as volunteers with NIGHTSHIFT Ministries, a charitable organization that's been providing nightly outreach for people stuck in the cycle of poverty, addiction, and homelessness since 2004. His experience volunteering with the less fortunate has given Ken a broader sense of humanity and its perils. The poetry he penned in response considers compassion, love, understanding, and the paradox of denying ourselves vulnerability in order not to appear weak in a situations that call for strength. Understanding this truth expanded Ken's heart on all fronts. This book is a product of my journey toward transformation.
