Incessancy, Stories of God

The impetus to share Incessancy, Stories of God with you is that I’m convinced, as is Gerard Manley Hopkins, that the world is charged with the grandeur of God. The twenty six poems range widely in subject matter, but each points to the presence of God in our lives and in humanity. From a vision of the great atheist apologist Christopher Hitchens sipping a dry martini in heaven, to a gentle 99 year old Irishman waiting for God, to the Coptic martyrs on a Libyan beach, to the Daily News photo of an observant Jew on the A Train, each poem attempts to point. And the direction of the pointing is always to the mystery of God among us, the living God in our lives.
