The clutter and distractions of the world pose great challenges to simplicity and purity of heart. The enticements of materialism, temporal pleasures of flesh and mind, and deceit of self-pride are curtains of the soul. They block off radiance that enables clarity of vision and accurate perception of truth and beauty. Observations, ponderings, and meanderings in poetry and prosethese are the gist of my writings; outpourings of wonderment, inspiration, praise, and love; at times, of intrigue and deliverance. In many instances, it is the heart that tells the mind what to see and think. Life is replete with messages, images and meaningsintentional, contrived, or coincidental. There are huh moments, and there are ahamoments. Their interpretation is mine, but I leave it to you, my readers, to feel as I feel or ponder as I ponder or be fascinated and awed . . . and adventure through lifes mysteries. The first part of this book is an expression in poetry. Awe, gratitude, and love are the wellspring for expression. The second part of this book offers an intimate and curious peek into the mysterious fabric of real-time vignettes and the overlapping dimension of dreams. God, in his most extraordinary ways and in his most extraordinary love, has gifted me with precious moments in time, moments that my finite mind could not and would not have conjured. I cling to their very memory emblazoned in my heart, and I humbly share them with you, my readers. Biblical scripture exhorts that unless we are like little children again, we cannot see the kingdom of God. Beyond our complete comprehension, God gives a foretaste of his kingdom on this temporal earth to temporal beings. It is his gift of love and compassion. The simplicity of little children . . . that is what this book, Something Curious: Book 2: Simply Awed aims to inspire, to see, and to experience the gift that is freely given in a myriad ways.
