Joseph’s Books
The Eleventh Finger
Joseph has written this book from what he has felt in certain moments of his life to what he saw in nature, from the inside to the outside and sometimes from the outside to the inside. The Eleventh Finger is a book of poetry talking about enlightenment, love, passion, pain and mystery. The title itself is a mystery – a symbol. His motivation for writing this book is mainly to share his talent with the world. Joseph wanted to share what God gave him from the world, sharing his experiences, his thoughts, and the knowledge that he has gained throughout his whole life journey.
