Songs of My heart

About the Book

A dream is a mysterious realm that has always fascinated me, and I have always been fortunate enough to receive a dream or two each night. They have always had an ethereal quality, impalpable and spiritual. 

The Songs of My Heart are descriptions of dreams I have had that have stayed with me and provided a secret doorway, if you will, to the world of my childhood and then to an ideal place created by my heart. Having access to these sweet remembrances has gladdened my spirit, strengthened me in times of sorrow, and confirmed my faith and hope in God’s goodness and abiding love. My descriptions of these dreams are done in lyrical prose to portray and convey the essence of my dream world as I have known it. 

The second part of this volume, “Evensong,” are poems of love and praise delineating the greatness of God and His omniscient presence in our lives. I have written of His kindness and mercy to encourage others who may not know Him yet, to “come and taste the sweetness of the Lord.”

About the Author

I was born during the bombing of Manila in October 1942. My family and I survived the war years in the mountain vastness of the northern Philippines. I grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of Southern California, receiving a bachelor’s degree in sociology. 

I proudly carry the heritage of the Powhatan tribe of Virginia, the hills of Scotland, the plains of China, and the towers of Spain from my intrepid ancestors, and no doubt their combined spiritual strength has contributed to my own esoteric and believing nature.
