Included herein are 365 thoughts, inspirations, poems and essays. Feel free to

read them all at once, one each day or however the Spirit moves you. Perhaps

you will use them as seed thoughts in meditation, or as daily companions to

address the challenges of each new day. They are presented to be gifts to the

open hearts led to these pages. They are reflections from the Silence. Their

beauty lies deep within. Think about them. Contemplate their meaning. These

ideas and mini-revelations have guided the author for decades. Yet, I have barely

uncovered their secrets. I invite you to go deep inside and discover their full

beauty; discover the majesty of the Silence. Here you might discover more than

ideas and concepts; here you just might discover yourself.

Reflections from the Silence is comprised of inspirations and ideas which occurred

to the author over 40 years of meditation, contemplation, and journaling. These

ideas are universal in nature. They belong to each of us and are accessible to all.

We have only to quiet our minds, of the noise and confusion we know as daily

life. This can be done through consistent meditation and ultimately

contemplation. Use these writings along with your own inspirations, to find the

place of peace within, so that each day can be a reminder of your intimate and

critical place within God's infinite cosmos. I invite you to travel with me through

these pages and in so doing discover your own, 'Reflections from the Silence'.
