A Child of the Universe Affirmation
I am a child of the universe;
a spark ever abides
in my heart of hearts,
a pure, divine spark
found in every heart
(when sought).
I see the spark in my sister’s eyes
my brother’s eyes,
in all creatures, all life,
in all existence.
These sparks all together
are together all:
all one creation
(and the creator).
I call on it
by one of many
Holy Names.
I am a child of the universe;
a spark ever abides
in my heart of hearts.
The spark offers all resources divine
(when I call):
love, peace, compassion,
truth, serenity, security,
joy, certitude, bliss.
creativity, capacity,
utility.
mercy. forgiveness.
grace.
The spark is love:
the experience of union:
the unity of life.
I am a child of the universe;
a spark ever abides
in my heart of hearts.
I stand on divine ground.
I am a child of the universe,
caught in a cosmic net,
cradled by creation.

The Toll of War
Sometime ago, I read Ron Chernow’s biography of Grant. The aftermath of the battle of Shiloh reminded me of my poem, "collect their souls," a requiem for the fallen. It seems more than relevant once again in the current era. Click below.
Early Morning Moon
I borrowed the title of this poem as name for my website in homage to the new day that greets us everyday and the new moon that follows the waning crescent which I take to heart as symbol of fresh oportunities that await us.
was it the american dream?
Welcome to the Online Collection of My Poetry
I have named the site after a recent poem in which I tried to capture the unique miracle that is our earth; how precious the planet and how important the opportunity that we mature as a species in order to preserve our habitat.
