GOD IS LOVE AND WE SHALL KNOW
A WINTER OUTING
A warm, wistful voice guides listeners through a mosaic of poems that celebrate the quiet marvels of home, nature, and the human spirit. The verses drift from nostalgic reveries of pine‑laden Maine landscapes to soaring reflections on the divine pulse that runs through stars, seas, and seasonal change. Each piece is framed by simple, melodic language that invites the listener to pause and breathe in the familiar comforts of memory.
Interwoven with gentle humor and earnest musings on love, courage, and everyday wonder, the collection feels like a conversation with a close friend who has lingered over a garden fire. From the playful chatter of a captive butterfly to the steady resolve of a suffragette’s song, the poems offer moments of quiet encouragement and subtle insight. The listening experience is a soothing journey that leaves a lingering sense of gratitude for life’s small, radiant moments.
