Window to the Spirit !!
This is where I share my musings on a life, a community and a world in transition. In the postings here, I'm just trying to be ME as I struggle to find my way through a confusing time and place ...

About Me
- Reverend Shawn
- Popeye said it best: "I yam, who I yam!" I'm not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I am an imperfect and flawed human being, with a caring heart and a loving soul ... I am a son, a father, a friend, and I am in a place engulfed by transition, uncertainty and change ... Were it not for my faith, this journey would have consumed me long ago ... for now, I take each moment as a gift ... and live firmly in the present ... because that's all we have ... and sometimes that's more than enough ... Dayenu !!
