Life, as I view it, is a spiritual journey back to God and Oneness. Spiritually, I am a student of Jesus's teachings in the Christian Bible and A Course in Miracles. I write poetry to clarify my thinking about spiritual matters, relationships, and love.
Relationships are the classroom in which we learn about love, giving, and forgiveness. You must forgive to love, and spiritual guidance is needed to forgive anyone completely. Extending love with God to others — with caring and respect — fills all our hearts with joy. These simple lessons pervade my poetry.
Some of my poems are ekphrastic, in that they were written in response to a quote from Rumi or another enlightened teacher. Most are about my evolving relationship with God and my spiritual partner, Ann. A few were written in response to specific encounters and events. I felt inspired to share them.
