A storm spoke boldly
…announcing its intentions
bullying the skies

Pray on,
Eddy
Me, a madcap of foolish impropriety
To my anchor in this untamed ocean
To my calm in this season of storms
I bring all of my love and devotion
I stand thankful in my garden of glimmer
In sure heartedness that one day we’ll find
A place where we can mix as one
As is confectionately in my mind
My prayer is in a shared abounding love
Sincere and blameless and pure
Filled with the fruit of contentment
And built on all that is sure
~ E.M.
What motivates you?
My motivation each and everyday is to serve and give back simply because I’ve been so blessed. I love on others because I was first loved. I know it can sound too sweet at times, but the truth is the truth, and that’s the honest …
Let my love be my mark…
Be my mark in this world
Let my love be my alms…
Be my alms to the Lord
~ E.M.
What do you enjoy most about writing?
I really enjoy writing as a way to serve creation. I find myself almost daily moved to share the beauty and diversity that’s on display. For me, the satisfaction is in the communication, the entertaining, lifting or enlightening possibility… if only just for a moment.
What do you love about where you live?
I love that I have been blessed to settle into two very creative settings. One in Bucks County, PA, and another on a barrier island in Brevard County, FL. Both homesteads are remote without being out-of-touch with society, and offer a personal connection to nature. What I love the most is that I’ve found them both to be spiritually inspiring places to call home.
When my path is straight
And love replaces hate
Don’t you know
I’m home again
~ E.M.
What positive emotion do you feel most often?
I wake each day feeling blessed. When I take an honest look at my life I see providence. My life is a web, one thread after another, of fortunate occurrences that I have had nothing to do with. Mind you I do have free will and have had to make decisions throughout my journey, but the overriding opportunities seem to have the fingerprints of another.
And so yes I often feel blessed. Yeah, it rains from time to time, but even the occasional darkness always gives way to light sooner or later, and the underlying fact is that each day is beautiful in it’s own way, and there lies the blessing.
What is a word you feel that too many people use?
I just hate to hear someone say I can’t. As in, I can’t do this; I can’t do that; I can’t say that. In a world of ambiguity that word just rings of negativity. Whenever I hear some say I can’t, I hear God say I can.
When you move irrelevant
When you’re the hued elephant
When you hear yourself exclaiming, “I can’t!”
Walk in Canaan
~ E.M.
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
Speaking for myself, the most important thing to carry with me at all times is love.
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what I do
Without love
I’m nothing without love
~ E.M.
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
Wow! I’ve been championing a world that embraces diversity for some time now. So that would be the greatest change that I could ever hope for.
I in them and you in me and we in kind can change the world together
May we experience a unity like never before
A neighborhood of brotherhood and sisterhood as one together
How deep and broad we flow from shore to shore
~ E.M.
