Questions And Prayers

Feelings of the spirit are a natural guide to life and may be felt at any time, but not necessarily regularly throughout life, nor consistently in expected circumstances. They come and go in guidance when required. There are possibly many forms to suit different people, with different circumstances and different spiritual needs. I naturally question my existence and look for answers, my thinking mind asking rhetorical questions on life, purpose and reason. Many of the themes I pursue are contained in the poems that make up the body of this book. The Experience: If you can imagine a gas lantern, with mantle, lit and the gas turned on smoothly from minimum to maximum and back again to off, in the space of two to three seconds. Then think of the glow from the lantern displaced from the appliance and placed in your chest so that you feel it from the front to the back of your of your body. As the glow grows evenly then diminishes you receive a feeling of wellbeing that permeates throughout your body.
