More DescriptionIt has been said that both poetry and music are means of expressing one's innermost feelings. They reveal certain aspects of a person's character. But, that's only one side of the picture. The other side is that, writing poetry and composing music (songs or hymns) helps to form and even transform one's personality. Well, my experience has been just that. Hence, I am eternally grateful to God for blessing me with this talent of poetry and music, which has helped me both, to know myself better and also to strive to grow in my spirituality as a monk and priest.My earnest hope is that the fruit of my experience may inspire many others to be grateful for their own unique God-given talents. I wish that the sharing of these poems and hymns will lift up people's hearts in their prayer and work; and promote positive thinking in every sphere of life. Undoubtedly, every word that has been written is not just a reflection of my own thinking, but also of the wholesome impact of family and community that has shaped my life and spirituality.
