Preface

John Main OSB (I926-I982) who rediscovered

meditation in the Christian tradition for us

states in his book ‘Community of Love’: “There

is only one way we can judge our progress, and

that is by the quality of our love.”

Indeed the fruits of meditation are the same as

the fruits of the spirit mentioned in the Holy

Scripture: love, peace, joy, patience, kindness,

compassion and self-control.

I have followed this path of meditation for a good

many years now, and it seems to me a natural

progression that I was able to write the poems

presented here in as much as they were influenced

by and have grown out of my daily practice.

The poems are predominantly short and therefore

can invite the reader to spend some time reflecting

on them and contemplating their meaning.
