LOVE NEVER FADES
( The Convalescent )
The faces and memories remind us, of better times, when life was joyful and kind.
For the greatest treasure you can give to another, is your time. This precious gift is a connection of hearts, touching the inner reservoir of loneliness. It is a spark that kindles the embers from endless emptiness. Each moment you give, is a gift yet to be opened. Untie the bow, and see the eyes of longing, an expression of gratitude. Your presence is a relief from this limbo of containment. For the love we carry never fades. It dwells in our hearts, waiting for that moment, when you enter the room of the inflicted. From the words, “Hello” to “I will see you soon”, are majestic and rewarding, time standing still, seeping in this visitation from the outside world. While the clocks ticks, waiting is the enemy. Your presence, and words of comfort are precious, like from a King. Love never fades. It needs to be nourished and given in abundance to pollinate hearts. For every lock has a key. Every puzzle has a solution. And every heart needs to be loved.
And when you leave this place, remember the faces with no smiles. The unshed tears, of the those, who cannot cry. The ones who have no one to visit them. For love never fades, as the wounded warriors heart, is held hostage, waiting for their King to return.

Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.
The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.
My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying:
“Whom shall I send? Who will be my
messenger?”
I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
