The Highest Principle
 
Perhaps you call it God!
But, if not,
You may concede
That a drive from the heart to do better,
A passion to improve in anything constructive-
To help any part of Life-
Is a submission….
An act beyond the bonds to selfishness,
A releasing of an old way
To move with greater purpose toward the new.
A reaching.
A desire for fresh wisdom.
A need to secede from the concavity,
…..And journey, anew, unto the frontier!
 
These calls of the heart are somehow graciously honored
With new intelligence,
Expanding more and more,
Where the paths of achievement
Are made clear- more vivid with each yearning.
And where each green seed of yearning begets the cycle anew.
Perhaps you simply call it evolution.
But, the more you want of it
The more it reveals itself as God!

WELCOME

WELCOME

       It took "a minute" to develop this site. Being computer challenged, I had to solicit the assistance of a good friend
to get me started. I thought he would be all I needed to complete and introduce this, my initial web-publication.
But as Providence would have it, my friend had critical deadlines before him in other areas. And, given my snail pace in designing this site, he had to relinguish his assistance and devote his full attention to his projects. It, therefore, became increasingly necessary for me to slow down enough and gather my patience, as well as my confidence, and continue what my friend had graciously prepared. 
       It became another Mountain. Within it, Lessons that remain with me still; that will always be available to me, 
for I have become what they have taught. When grounded in the wisdom to commit to their application,
I become, increasingly, a new creature.
       Each step of progress was a "handful", however. I dreaded approaching the computer. It didn't help that my other obligations and critical concerns were a consciousness of presures and anixeties. This was just another ingredient- another painfully identifiable mineral in this rock & soil. 
      "Oh crap!" (I'm being gentle here), could often be heard from my office.
       And yet, each handful brought me closer. I was steadily treading through the Mountain, displacing the rock & soil of impatience, lack of confidence and concentration. Laughingly, the acquired ability to navigate through the web program became just an aside. For more than anything else, I gained an appreciation for the process, for how Life sprouts and unfolds the desires of the consistent, faithful heart. 
      I now hold within a deeper gratitude for each "handful".
                  -------------------------------------------
      I am proud to introduce and offer for purchase on this site, Mountains Moved, my first book publication. It is an eclectic collection of poems with topics ranging from love to finding inner peace, from social issues to hints of metaphysics, and more. 
      Also, I will be introducing sentiment/art works presented on various media (e.g.- crystal, acrylic, woods, poster board, etc.), designed for various occasions. I invite you to check with us often, as we will be building our selections, offering many Limited Edition Signature pieces, and a variety of inspirational reminders that we hope will serve to encourage you in your daily "walk".

       Thank You for joining us.

        Peace...Be You
