The Third Part

Steven Sarsfield is a lifelong artist and spiritual seeker who has traversed a diverse landscape of experiences. From humble beginnings in inner-city Pittsburgh to serving in the Navy and meeting the challenges of raising five children, his life has been a tapestry of contrasts.

Steven transitioned from the time-crunched world of truck driving to the precision of engineering and from the bustling city life to the tranquility of Hawaii. Born with an innate love of sailing, he raced yachts and later shared his love of sailing with children, teaching them to sail with a loving and understanding heart.

In each phase, Steven has found a unique way to infuse spirituality into his daily life, adding a deeper meaning to his journey. Steven’s lifelong exploration of spiritual and religious meaning is evident in his unique approach to the metaphysical world. The Third Part, his personal interpretation of the spiritual realm and its accessibility, is a testament to his independent spirit. It is a guide for those like him who prefer to forge their own spiritual path rather than conform to traditional religious institutions.

Steven lives in the rainforests of Hawaii near an active volcano where he writes, paints, bakes, takes care of his garden and home, works as a substitute teacher, and attends weekly ecstatic dances. His poems and short stories have addressed history as well as novelty, the unexpected, and the truth. The walls of his house are covered with his murals and small paintings. Steven’s approach to writing, cooking, art, and dance all come from a love of life, the willingness to take chances, and faith in the reality of intention.
