Todd

Discovering the deeper self through poetry and writing started 5 years ago. My seeking to “know” God has evolved through life’s struggles and joys for 50 years. The challenges along the way are the human experience we all are engaged in to unveil to us our individual journeys to “knowing” God. The dynamic flow of life is the path to hearing the still small voice. Within that we come to experience Grace, Love and Beauty. Most of my poetry starts in prayer and meditation. From there I try to allow what comes through to evolve. I hope that my poetry, or a word, a sentence has resonance for you on your journey.  Todd
