Intimus: Poems on Darkness Into Light

Many experience severe desolation as an existential angst so dark it is felt at the core of their being. But the despondent individual who maintains faith in their divine nature will come upon the truth as it dawns within their heart of hearts. The author's conviction of this spiritual dynamic is the underlying tenor of this body of poetry.

Intimus: Poems on Darkness Into Light welcomes the reader into the author's heart space. Aware that prose could not express the depths of emotional experience, he was inspired to attempt a more accurate rendering through the use of poetic form. The result is an impassioned collection of unfeigned, full-hearted poems, many of which stem from his own emotionally dark period.

These poems reflect the author's encounters with the egocentric self and his longing to know his Christified humanity. Common to many of these poems is an interpretation based on A Course in Miracles, the author's spiritual path that emphasizes the necessity of examining one's egocentric false self. For those who desire to move beyond an egoic disposition, these poems evoke a sense of wonder and prompt the exploration of one's true and sacred Self.
