Good morning!

It's said that the best literature can change your life for the better! WHAT is this journey we call life? I say it is when the discovery of new ideas collides with the reality of what and who we are, and allows us to find, the peace to understand ourselves!
Are you baffled by life's contradictions, frustrated, by your inability to ID, and solve your problems? "Cries in the Wilderness Volume One 2nd edition, may well be that missing link, to find the answers you're looking for!
Decisions. Fear. Contemplative musings...
What does it all mean?
Pema Chodron wrote that: "fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth..."
In his poetry he pens the thought: "that you can move through fear..."

NEW POEM. Thoughts?
ON CAMEL BOUND
Mystic morning reflections,
a story of long ago,
three mens' perilous journeys,
across a harsh desert, a star all aglow.
Three pious men bound,
for destinations unknown,
a prophecy fulfilled,
our King on His throne.
Holiday Wishes!
As Christmas manifests its rosy cheeks,
and the aisles are overflowing,
Best Wishes to you, and yours,
and, may your fortunes be ever-glowing!
The Meaning of Life
What IS it that is MEANINGFUL, and that which is NOT? How do we distinguish the real from the faux, the hyped from the bland, and our spiritual needs from our secular fancies? Proverbs 27:19: "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."
WHAT is it in our daily lives that propels us to go on to find fulfillment? What insights can we discern from our readings? Finding these insights and discerning their meanings brings us closer to God and who we are!
Filling lives with self-worth and aplomb.
I try to write about ways we can improve ourselves. I am passionate about the ideals of Christianity - love, compassion and grace. Every thought, idea and example I pen is geared to igniting your passion for life!
Beauty and form are the foundation of great poetry; and no pretense or airs doth mar its lines; but lo, the muses that are best remembered, are those that touch our hearts and make us give thought, to those words left unsaid, but nevertheless expressed.
The familiarity of Ignorance
The familiarity of ignorance, the recognition, of not understanding, that which we thought we knew! [Do Jesus' Miracles not underscore our need to be sentient?] We are BETTER than AI!
Life involves choices! "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you....Deuteronomy 31:8 But, where do we start? What is our purpose? MUCH is required. What is it we wish to accomplish? Mind you the important thing is to START!
Greater men than I have heard God's answers to their prayers! James 1:6-7 tells us: "... when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind ..."
From "Cries in the Wilderness, vol 2"
"Glorious morn dispels, the deepened, dark night,
as our thoughts turn to more, illustrious delights!
Unsettled quests in need of, immediate response,
our mind's eye set in sanctuaries firmly ensconced."
A writer's thoughts: [part 8 "the Choice is ours!"]
I decide there are only two things left for me to do! I can give up my writing in its entirety, or I can voice a lot of prayers.
For now, I'm going to choose the latter, and trust in the Lord to give me...
A Writer's thoughts [part 9 Final Thoughts]
I have chosen to trust in the Lord to give me guidance and strength and the smarts to make it through to the platform where people will actually be reading my books and telling others to do the same.
A writer's thoughts [part two] "Basking in your achievement"
You give your all to jot down on paper the thought(s) that consume you! It is a race against time, too precious time! And, in that moment you allow yourself to take pleasure, in your singular... tba
Ideas that float like elegant sloops on a less-than-windy, Caribbean afternoon, thoughts that give meaning to WHY we exist. "Cries in the Wilderness, Vol One", now 25% OFF reg price of $19.95 to only $14,95 for the Holidays! 3% of ea. sale to US conservation!
I grapple with the consciousness of being who I am, wondering why, I even exist. What will tomorrow bring? Will there BE another tomorrow? Electrifying, life-changing, transformations, are there before me, if I only read... "Cries in the Wilderness", volumes 1 & 2.
Poetry that sparks the imagination.
"Cries in the Wilderness" offers a message of hope. Its powerful, oft' unspoken communication, informs and enlightens, with you, deciding the most appropriate course of action. It is poetry that sparks the imagination.
From the poem: "Freedom of the Stars"
WHAT is destiny?
"Our destiny looms before us - yet
history mocks the years.
We mortals can only ponder,
the reign of our fears.!
ONLY God has the power to light up our day!
Know the Words of the Father, and you'll know the Way!
The writings that offer answers, to our innermost prayers,
teaching the Gospel - casting AWAY our despairs.

Start of: "Saturday Sunrise Serenade"
Each morning, I'm no less amazed,

the Glory of the sunrise,
and the dawning of a new day!
It is the fruits of our labor, NOT the VOLUME of our voices, that are our final epitaph and manifestation of our contribution to our fellow man, and to our God! Whitman's words, "I am large. I contain multitudes" were far more powerful, than any bomb!
The writer
The writer is who he is, built on the backs of his predecessors, where he's been, what he's done. As Walt Whitman said in: "Song of Myself" "I am large, I contain multitudes" Some of my fav poets are: Frost, Coleridge, Poe, Angelou and Whitman.

We waken to the music of the holidays that fills the air, wondering like you, what gifts we'll buy for the family. Except for the littlest ones, we'll probably give envelopes with cash. For the youngest we'll be shopping the aisles at Walmart, Walgreens and BJ's.
Richard A. Marschall, author, Wildlife conservationist - "Writing on Fire"
"Why is it always so much easier to spend our money than it is to save it?
Mightn't it be the same with the gifts God has given us on this great Earth of ours?"
If we don't take care of our wildlife ...
WE are the only ones who can make it happen!
Support our endangered wildlife by calling or writing your representatives to take an active role in what is going on!

I am concerned about the loss of viable animal habitat in this country. Does the amount we are setting aside each year actually compensate for pollution and loss to human development?

Is it not the perceived thought and the pursuit of our Christianly endeavors that allows our entry to Heaven, or does our fate rest on the knowledge of an obscure verse, written by some anonymous author, years after, Jesus' resurrection?
A Writer's thoughts: [part 6 - Level 3 cont.]
I read all the manuals for "dummies", like myself, the online lit., and as many of the 100's of books on selling my product as I can consume - the end result is being even more frustrated than when, I started out!
Richard A. Marschall [a little something I penned this morning]
A poem for the morning
We wake in the morning.
the halcyon night secure in our brains,
the streamers of the morning's sunshine,
erasing all, but our most innermost pains.
Wow! What a beautiful morning!
So thankful for forums such as twitter, facebook, and instagram that allow you to showcase, and describe your works, to old and new readers!
A writer's thoughts: Writing is ... [part 1] "THE WRITING"
Writing is unlike any other pursuit! It marshals all your resources into one itty bitty, most tiny, capsule of energy, that if you look away, may well vanish in the blink of an eye.
When I was young, I lived in what was then, still a rural part of Baltimore County, MD., along with my parents, in a small two BR bungalow. There wasn't much there at the time, and we young uns' had to figure out things on our own to do.
Do you wonder WHICH road to take - WHICH path will lead you to the riches of life, fulfillment, and peace?
"Cries in the Wilderness" is poetry that examines our humanness and makes us to address the difficult questions of life itself!
My newly completed, enhanced WEBSITE, is up and ready to go! I made the final tests myself this morning and everything looks good. PLEASE check us out on:
@Interior
Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving!
Our wildlife need us now, more than ever before!
They need our lands on which to survive, and clean habitats in which to live!
In 1597 Sir Francis Bacon, in his work, "Meditationes Sacrae" wrote: "Knowledge itself is power"!
Just think, how much MORE powerful an idea, you came upon yourself, from a poetic insight!
Learning to identify and reconcile the problems in our lives needs to be our first priority! Recognizing where to turn, to find answers and examples, can be frustrating and perplexing.
