on all the highwaysyou choose to travelyou will encounteruneven lanes"Uneven Lanes" is a collection of poems that the author wrote over a period of several years. They represent various themes about experiences that people might encounter in their journeys through living. Although people set out on their personal journeys toward a destination they hope to reach, the highways of life offer sinuous paths that throw people seemingly off course. In reflection, however, those paths prove to be ones that were chosen, both consciously and unconsciously. In the end, there is providence, whether or not one recognizes it. John V. Jones, Jr. is a professional counselor, supervisor status (LPC-S) and writer who lives in Austin, Texas. He has worked with clients, interns, and has taught and trained students pursuing their licensure in professional counseling for over twenty years. As a counselor he works with individual adults who experience various transitions and life changes that they encounter to help them take stock of their lives so as to continue on with their personal journeys. The experiences that life throws at people are the stuff for meaning making. And people are meaning-making creatures. As a Christian, he believes life takes place, both on physical and spiritual planes that intersect and are never totally separated. Personal experiences are grounded in faith, whether or not people are aware into what they have placed their faith.
