"I love clouds that I can almost touch." This sums up something so grand, something so above us and yet so near we can have the experience now if somehow, we can awaken to it. Weaved in and out of these lines there is a view from up there, an attitude from up there that conveys the aliveness of all things in nature. Nature, and truly all things, are waiting to be companions and friends. Smiles are the most magical of all things. There is wisdom carried with them when they are sincere. But how do you really convey some idea like that? It is a mystery. My greatest hope is that this book leaves you with a smile that knows God''s blessings in all things. I never wrote these poems of myself but rather they are expressions I received during long periods of quiet. Then I wrote down what I could convey to share with you. There is much hidden, awaiting your surprise. It certainly was a gift given, to which I abound with abundant gratitude.
