About this ebook
Poetry captures our thoughts and emotions, expressing them in words which we cannot sometimes find. Poetry has a way of entering the word, keeping the word present to us in a similar way that music, by its rhythm and repetition, presents to us a feeling, a mood, a happening, capturing a memory throughout the twists and turns of the Spiritual journey back to God. Life is ongoing, bringing changes, some we long for, others we would rather not experience. This book reflects times and seasons that touch most of our lives in one way or another.
Placed in no particular order, there is something for everyone to dip into, touching a chord, bringing out the pain and beauty of a soul while welcoming the Holy Spirit within and letting Him shine forth His healing rays of Light.
J A Russell
With the coming of Vatican ll in the 1960s, the author, as a Catholic mother of young children, welcomed the invitation to become a catechist involved with preparation for the sacraments of first confession and holy communion. She found that the more she expressed her faith, the more her faith was strengthened. It was certainty in God’s presence in the sacraments that enabled her to continue practicing her faith in times of adversity, with constant awareness of living in the light of God’s presence on the journey back to him. It is through a deep and continuous relationship as daughter of a loving father who is here with us in every aspect of our lives—whether serving him at home in the kitchen or at the altar in church, suffering in illness, or running freely along a beach—that the author wishes to encourage the reader to also seek a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit of God, holding on to the promises Jesus gives in the gospels. As a young person, the author found a great sense of God’s omnipresence through traveling widely and attending mass in foreign countries (mass still being said in Latin), being greatly influenced by the beauty and wonder of creation. Throughout a time of suffering, it was a great comfort to her to experience this same God present in her difficulties—still loving, still guiding, and patiently leading her into a deep experience of his powerful healing and grace. The author has great devotion to the mother of God and over the years has found immense joy as a Eucharistic minister. As a Catholic, she has seen the coming together of Christians in shared services. She has love of prayer, singing, and composing sacred music and is author of several inspiring books on God’s powerful presence, having a long-held desire to share the wonder of God’s life and healing light, which remain with us throughout even the simplest of things in our everyday life.
