Welcome to Inspiring Words
I hope you enjoy your visit here. In this site I share some poems and short stories. I am currently writing the second edition of Face the Pain, so it will not be available at my online store until it is finished. Clicking on the book cover will, however, take you to the store where you can find inspirational organic t-shirts and prints of the Desiderata and the Prayer of St. Francis.
Most people do not know about the virus infecting them since birth. Most people do not know their unfaced emotions seethe under the surface like an earthquake fault line and build until some kind of eruption (physical ailment or emotional outburst) becomes inevitable. Most people do not know how they suffer. Many have not examined what they really want and most do not know who they are… why this book is so important today. People are ready for freedom.
Timely, simple and direct, Face the Pain, Spiritual Help to Realize Freedom, explores how we suffer. Understanding the mechanism of suffering reveals a choice we can wield. This self-help, inspirational book offers guidance to people who suffer from depression, addiction, their relationships or lack thereof, or a general dissatisfaction with life. It can also help those who feel fine, but would like assistance in understanding a family member or friend.
For Seekers... the book points not only to freedom from suffering, but also to Freedom ItSelf. Although words, however inspired, cannot describe exactly what That is, they can attempt to evoke the direct experience of That... which reveals my intention for all these words: may I and they serve Love. -C. D. Bevis

About the Author
After many years of trying to fit in and do the right thing, I finally gave up and embarked on a path of healing that has led to a plethora of experiences and teachers. I have healed many emotional wounds, and like the layers in a fine pastry, always discovered more underneath. It seems an endless task, and maybe it is, but that's okay, now that I know peace. All have the opportunity to explore what it means to know That, and to express That in an individual way. The adventure of limitless exploration and expression beckons.
when I empty my plate
you come through every time
funny I still call you, you
I continue this habit of separation
so I stop again and pay attention
listen to the knowing
the knowing has always been with me
often dormant waiting for me to wake up
silent
then bubbling
then whistling
like my teapot!
