LET THERE BE MORE
Of all you have given me, is there more?
I untie the bow of the gift ,to assemble the words:
Floating letters of the alphabet ,twisting and turning
—Like puzzle pieces— Finding placement to begin.
From a spring to a river they flow with grace:
Multiplying, building a composition of the heart.
I speak not from the tongue , but from the heart itself.
For the heart, is Godly — The mind, worldly.
Who speaketh then, but the flowing presence,
the words of the Spirit of this spiritual reservoir.
You Lord, have given me the keys to the dictionary:
Words to rearrange ,to complement your Presence.
Let my task never end. Replenish the pen,
for I am your servant with matters beyond myself.
I remain humble with this gift,
because it is not I, who write the words—
But a little me, who receives the fragrance,
to pollinate them into a message.
The Holy Spirit as my guide,
consumes all of me into a compassionate state—
And conforms these thoughts
into a story, sprinkled with grace.
My God, my God,
Let there be more.

About the Author
Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.
The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.
My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying:
“Whom shall I send? Who will be my
messenger?”
I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
