Prose from many shores knocks on the door of the reality of our daily lives in stanzas that give the reader a broader spectrum of the spiritual world in psalms and songs. The author authentically decrees that most of the contents within these pages came in the form of an otherworldly muse most definitely from the light. From broken hearts that never heal, to war that leaves scars unseen, to history long forgotten, to a World War II marine who encountered a talking dog that saved his life--all these are compiled within these pages, speaking to our world today. Far from being a self-help book, it speaks to the child within us all, to the adolescent we used to be, and the adult and seniors we will all become. Here, in this unique collection, you will be much devoted to the Divine and psalms that came about during early morning prayers or, as the title, Prose from many shores. In this lyrical expression of love, loss, war, and early morning visits by the muse (Prose from many shores), it is this writer's fervent hope and prayer that reading these words will inspire and encourage the readers to be aware that it is never too late to pursue your dreams in whatever category you have chosen. I love being a writer of Christian psalms and praise poetry that inspire and all-around history much from the greatest generation (World War II). As much as having written concerning Christian genres and motivational words of inspiration that have, in some ways, lifted the spirits of our cohort, every writer wants to make a difference with her/his contribution. Today I have become a firm believer in the presence of God and Jesus Christ working in my life. It's my experience that prayer and meditation daily can not only change our lives and lead us to a more fulfilling existence but also change our world for the better. It has been said and documented in millions of testimonies that belief in God is one of the most formidable tools of reliability one may have. Within these pages, the reader will find story poems and short stories that will hopefully inspire them to move in the direction of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. Hopefully, that may include the arts, creativity, performing arts, and writing. God stands as the master creator of all that is or ever will be (you and me not excluded). What then is more devoted to his likeness and image than to recreate on our own level? It is my fervent hope that reading Prose from many shores may inspire you to build and expand your own relationship with God through prayer and praise. In the ever-holy name of Jesus Christ, I leave my blessing on this work and all who read it. God be with you, and perhaps we will be destined to meet in person along life's path. "For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them" (Saint Augustine of Hippo).
