Introduction . . . . . Enlightenment strains to reinforce intelligence with virtue and to grant freedom to all who seek the fullness of their humanity. Poetry struggles to stand erect in an age of biotechnological miracles; but this mysterious gift of sonorous verse energized by the soul brings a sense of holiness to the heart's affections and truth to our imagination . . . . Ours as His is, His with the Father, in glory.
Reflections . . . . . Poetry is an expression of our thoughts, impressions, and often our deepest convictions regarding life. The reflections on the poems in this book are not meant to limit any personal inspirations that come to you as the reader. . . . . . your own reflections will take you on journeys of imagery that will add spiritual dimensions to your life.
