This book comes from my time as a minister in the Church of Scotland. During those years, I went through a very difficult period, where I could not speak at all. For a time I thought I might never speak again. During this difficult period, I began painting, I took up writing poems again and I began to put together meditations and thoughts based on my understanding of the words found in the Bible.

I wanted to bring it alive in a new way. I found this helpful in the silence of my situation. I can, in all honesty, say that this was the beginning of a life of meditation and contemplation. It has brought me to where I am today.

In this book, you will find poems written during this period, there are thoughts that accompany the poems. You will find Biblical based meditations and Biblical accounts, told in a new, and I hope, refreshing way.

The contents of this book, now rewritten, helped me through a very difficult time. I offer it humbly in the hope that it brings insight to you the reader.
