About this ebook

Catching Stillness, by Jeffrey Vionito, contains both new poems and several other selections from his first collection, The Heart That Never Breaks. In this new publication, Jeffrey expands beyond the realm of poetry to also include prosaic expressions and essays. The topics of his composition and verse encompass many inspiring themes of spirituality, including, Love, Unity, Peace, Awakening, and Self-Discovery. Jeffrey’s writing style offers a fresh perspective on these topics, leaving the reader with an opportunity of reflection to help expand their own view of the vast spiritual essence that flows through all of creation.

The following is an excerpt from the book that captures a glimpse of a common but personal childhood memory. It is memories such as these that help bring us back to the spiritual heart as a point of remembering the importance of realizing and awakening to our true nature.

"I remember as a young child growing up, I would see the world around me and notice the dancing disarray of chaos mingling with humanity. I would ask myself, “Why is there theft and violence, abuse and poverty?” There was so much imbalance even my five year old eyes could see it. I would think to myself, “Everyone is so much older than I am, if I can see it, why can’t they? If I know deep within, the qualities of kindness, compassion, and Love, they must know them too, right?” Maybe somewhere along the way, the innocent stillness of the heart that we knew as children, gets buried in the hustle of busy thought and worldly progress. But what did I know? I was just a kid."

Jeffrey Vionito

Hi, my name is Jeffrey Vionito and I am a writer of spiritual poetry and the author of the book, The Heart That Never Breaks. I have been writing poetry on and off ever since I was a child. I grew up in an Italian American, Christian, Jewish household which only implies that there was no solid structure of spiritual beliefs in our family and often left me wondering with a great imagination of, "What is the purpose of all of this?"As I got older I broke away from that creative flow of writing in the midst of getting married, having two beautiful daughters and trying to make ends meet as a blue collar worker in the logistics/distribution industry.Although I still work in that field, I dont identify with that mundane aspect of my life as much anymore. As I became more aware through my spiritual practice of meditation, inward reflection and focusing my attention on the Divine Source of all creation, I began to change my perceptions about how my life should be and what is truly important for me in this lifetime. In that shifting momentum of my life, I feel a healing transformation continuously taking place and an inner creativity starting to come back to me from my childhood days. It is in the light of these experiences I have decided to reach out to others through my poetry in hopes to bring that same awareness and inspiration to others that would appreciate it. My poetry covers the various themes of unity, oneness, Love, awakening, and other related spiritual content.Currently I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with my wife and step daughter, and have hopes of moving forward and evolving my new passion for writing.
