The Old Home Place

Barney Shepherd is an author, a poet
 and a philosopher. His use of
relative thought is reflected
in  the ability to use prose and poetry
with subjects of like nature
and to combine these separate mediums
into a unit of completeness
with depth, compassion and understanding.
His stories, essays and philosophical
commentary about the social, political
and religious aspects of his life
are something you must read!
Barney prefers to control and edit
his own material and feels that you,
the reader, should see him in the raw,
exactly as he is reflected within his writings.

PURPOSE

Every time I meet another human being it is like finding a new and exciting story, book, movie or tape; an undiscovered and untold entity of the entire human passions and emotions within each and every personality of God’s creation.

 This is the reason I am a writer.  I too, have experienced the entire range of these powerful human and spiritual emotions within my lifetime.  Ardent love, strong sexual desires, lust, appetite, enthusiasm, pain, heartache, suffering, you name it I have experienced it.  No celebrity, no ruler, no person has felt the emotions and passions more deeply than I have.  I tend to believe that every human being has this uniqueness and with God’s help we can handle them with dignity and responsibility.

Like the movie about the farmer who built the baseball field in his cornfield, something tells me to write my stories and the readers will read them.
