Welcome - Thanks for dropping in!
Here you’ll find my blogs and short poetic reflections on a variety of topics involving nature, beauty, theology, the interior life, and becoming a fully alive version of ourselves.
A Few Words
…poetry preserves the mystery, offering a glimpse, nothing more. Capturing the beauty, the essence, but by its briefness leaves one wanting- it is an invitation…
It is not prose, but poetry that invites one deeper.
Fewer words, not more.
Perhaps prose, in its attempt to be more comprehensive, treats its subject like a specimen under study, then presents its findings as if it was all there is to know.
But poetry preserves the mystery, offering a glimpse, nothing more. Capturing the beauty, the essence, but by its briefness leaves one wanting- it is an invitation.
Out of respect for the greatness truth, it must be treated with wonder, explored in humility.
A ‘theology on its knees’ to quote Hans Urs von Balthazar.
