Murm'rings of the Heart: A Collection of Poetry and Song Written to Inspire

In this fast-paced world of science and technology we have set ourselves to a never-ending race with time. Weve lost our capacity to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. We have dulled our senses from appreciating the wild flowers along our way that flaunt their beauty and waft their fragrance on the breeze. We cast our vision hurriedly past the inviting pathways into the deep woods that eagerly entice us to take a moments rest. Lest we become robots devoid of feeling machineries unable to experience bliss we must elevate ourselves from the mundane to such loftiness of spirit as will enable us to experience and enjoy the true essence of life. This book offers us a sanctuary to rest our weary body and spirit and its poetry allows us to feel the realities within ourselves-too often missed yet are far richer than the physical realities around us that are too commonplace and barren to appreciate. The poems tug at the root of our being awakening the treasures lurking within us-little gems too inspiring to miss and too beautiful to forget. This book is a window into my soul-the anima within me that gives me life. It is the true reality of my existence-more than the reality of my physical being. It is beyond what my intellect can reach and what my emotions can inspire. My poetry which includes my songs is the fresh breath of my soul; it is the raw expression of what is at my core borne in the spur of the moment and perfected by inspiration. It is therefore in a spirit of love and absolute trust that I welcome you into this sanctuary of my soul since I render myself bare naked and vulnerable as I put you in touch with my true reality which is devoid of fear pretenses inhibitions as well as self-serving needs or purpose.
