About me

Why I write as I do

From a very early age, I found myself questioning life. As the years passed and life slowed a bit, many of those early questions returned—now deeper, clearer, and more insistent. I’ve always felt as though I was observing life from a slightly different vantage point, as if I already knew I was more than just this physical body.

Even as a child, I seemed to understand right from wrong without being told—though that never stopped me from being a rambunctious kid. I sensed that Someone was gently overseeing our lives, not like a boss commanding workers, but more like a gardener caring for plants. Once planted, nature takes over—but tending is still needed. I believe our Creator, working through the Holy Spirit, guides us in this same way: not by force, but through a quiet, steady presence. We are given free will, and it is the still, small voice in the heart that tries to steer us—if we are willing to listen. Ignore that voice too long, and life tends to drift off the path.

I’ve come to see that no single belief system contains all truth. Instead, truth is scattered across many traditions and perspectives, so that we must learn from one another. We are like the blind men describing the elephant: each holds a piece, but none sees the whole. Even Jesus, in all His wisdom, couldn’t reach everyone. Across history, many great messengers—Avatars, prophets, teachers—have brought reminders of how we ought to live with one another. Their core message is simple: treat others as we would like to be treated. Yet we humans have a talent for making the simple complicated.

I also believe that the laws given to humanity—often taken literally or tied to a specific time in history—carry deeper, universal meanings. These are not laws like traffic rules, but principles woven into creation itself: like gravity, or thermodynamics. If you do this, then this will follow. “What you sow, you shall reap” is not punishment; it’s a principle.

My aim in writing here is to share reflections gathered over a lifetime of learning—through mistakes, through grace, and through a constant desire to understand. Although we are imperfect beings, each of us carries a seed of perfection. It is our responsibility to water that seed daily, to grow through trials and challenges, and to mature the soul just as a child grows into adulthood.

If anything I write helps even one person nurture that seed within themselves, then this effort will have been worthwhile. My next one will be about my childhood and the adventures we have had that sadly many today do not get the chance to experience.
