Poetry, storytelling and song writing are members of the same family. I have a deep appreciation for the literary arts and believe that creative writing whatever its form, render a fleeting glimpse, a snippet of insight into the author’s inner world. To live an unexamined life is our greatest travesty and consequently we cannot grow as we are intended to without putting ourselves under a compassionate lens of scrutiny. Writing can do this by giving us a strategy to crystallize those fleeting thoughts and emotions that so often elude clarity and self knowing. Journaling, writing poetry can be a catharsis in this process leading to a new awareness of whom and what we are, warts and all. The journey of self discovery ultimately opens the door to the spiritual growth and evolution we so richly deserve.

My Way Back to Love
“Exhale, exhale fully. Emptiness begets fullness”.A frozen pen,a vacant page,beseeching bona fide expression.In shrouded silencethe sacred heartfluent in loving awarenessyet lonely still;muted in self imposed exile,craving what it rejects,crying outin muffled longings.Torrent Caribbean windssweep me awayon the crest of a silvery moon.Distant voices [...]
