Soul's Journey

For more than 20 years, I had been on a journey of personal and spiritual growth. I always knew that I am a spirit. With Ryan's death, and my desire to be close to him, simply knowing that I am a soul was no longer enough. Oneday, a question was stuck in my mind that would not go away. What ifI live as a soul in the human clothes, rather than as a human who has asoul. That pondering set in motion a startling inversion ofpriority. Asking my soul that question with persistence andcommitment catapulted me into a surprising journey that I could not haveimagined just a few years ago.Ireceived clear messages from Ryan and uncanny sources to write poems. I hadnever written a serious poem in my life. But my soul's whisper wasunceasing. With a series of synchronicities and chance encounters,new friends became the angels in my poetry journey. The calling wasunmistakable. I surrendered.Myverses, together with the love from my friends and family, have healedme. My poetic musings clarified, distilled, deepened and ingrainedthe essence of past spiritual experiences onto my being. As Isculpted my poems, my poems were sculpturing me at the sametime. Writing poetry has become a most joyous and upliftingspiritual practice for me.Thesoul's journey is one that discovers the true nature of the Divine and eachsoul is love itself. Peeling off all layers of reality, only awareness and loveremain.Mypoems have healed and transformed me, by sharing them I hope they will heal andinspire others.
