Duane was born ten minutes after his twin brother, Darrell, one of five children. Duane’s life changed when he took a life-threatening fall at the age of twelve. The accident left Duane in a coma for about three days. When Duane came to, he had changed. He remembers being in a place that he now knows in his heart as Heaven. To talk to him about it he says, “God showed me all of Heaven and Love. He then told me what I must do, and gave me a gift and sad, ‘Go back into the world and give them this gift, tell them so that they can learn their pathway to the way home.’ Two months later Duane began to write, and what this young man was writing caught the attention of those closest to him. His insight and depth was to them beyond the comprehension at an age so young. To some, his poems are prophecy, to others, insight – for him they are the sharing of his gift. There was a dark period in his life where he was troubled by the world, and his writings during that time show his turmoil.
