Poetic License

<p>Poems of spiritual insight that reflect personal experience often expressed in concepts from Eastern metaphysical philosophy as well as with interfaith concepts and ideas about our common humanity. Written by a student of yoga and Indian spiritual thought since the mid-1970s and influenced by studies at an interfaith seminary since having been ordained as an interfaith minister in 2011. A good number of these pieces in rhyming verse while some like the Conscious Constitution may not really qualify as a poem at all though it certainly takes poetic license in combining Eastern spiritual concepts with a sort of a mash-up of elements of the Constitution of the United States and the Gettysburg Address. </p><p> These renderings are gleaned from life as expressions of personal-mostly inner-experience. They reflect themes events and musings that became so strong as to bid the author to commit them to this form and now to share them with readers. </p>
