     What is Spirituality? Is it words energy or the intellectual? This is a question that always begs to be answered. The faith we are made of is within everyone's grasp. My years in many different faith based religions such as Catholic, Religious Science(The teachings of Ernest Holmes), Methodist, Protestant, Episcopalian, Evangelical Christian and Southern Baptist have shown me many faces. The path of life has many twists and has provided me with optimum experiences in the above methods of Faith. Following ones true spiritual path when trusting either because of naivety or because of great wisdom will always provide invaluable insight and experience. Several years were spent in each of the above religious faiths with the changes between each experience occurring because of conditions beyond my grasp. Consider this: The aspect that we as humans are spirits having our human experience is wondrous. Reality begins when we follow the path by trusting God to be our guide. Today I have returned to the roots of my Catholic faith.

     Romance is a virtual relentless entity. Having many relationships has motivated me to spend many hours transferring creative emotion into poetic verse. The virtues of childhood can be like an opened book for those of us who live in the moment. The past is gone and the future is a reflection of the moment we live in. When we invite our inner child to be rather than act as a critical parent we open ourselves to love in the most simplest form. This ability to love is a spiritual value and not a learned trait. When each of us receives with love why someone has crossed their path then we can move on to where we partner with all. Then each and every person that crosses our path has the opportunity to give and receive. We truly are spirits with love to give. The many relationships I have been fortunate to be part of have all contributed to my life in a positive way. Those positives experiences continues on with words in my poems.

     The growth in my relationship with Christ in the last decade passed since the launch of this poetic site have motivated a different focus on the spiritual poetry now included. My Catholic faith is grounded in my consciousness with a new reverence for Virgin Mary, Christ, and the Most Holy Rosary. The practices associated with the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary founded in the early centuries by Saint Dominic of the Dominican Fathers are a blessing to my life. With God's guidance, I will continue to make a difference for others as an educator and a publisher of Spiritual Poetry.
