Between Knowing and Choosing: Poems of Discovery, Dilemma, Judgement, and Consequence

By Christopher J Wheatley

How should we live beyond what we can know?

Every journey eventually reaches a place where the road ahead is uncertain. The traveller must choose without knowing whether the choice is right.

Between Knowing and Choosing is a collection of six narrative poems that use the journey as a metaphor for some of life's deepest questions. Travellers search for home, seek truth beyond the limits of their own horizons, struggle with freedom and responsibility, confront sacrifice and doubt, weigh purpose against mortality, and finally look back upon the choices that have shaped an entire life.

As the journeys unfold, the questions become increasingly personal. The travellers discover that every choice closes other possibilities, that every horizon reveals another beyond it, and that understanding often arrives only long after the road has been taken.

Written in a clear, reflective style, these poems will appeal to readers who enjoy philosophical poetry and meditations on identity, purpose, memory, and choice. They invite us to consider not simply how we choose, but how we should live when certainty lies beyond our reach.
