WHY DO WE WRITE SONGS?
...to share our deepest emotions! When feelings are too big for just words
Feel like an eagle flying over the forest below? Try putting that into words!
A SONG IS A POEM OF SPECIAL THOUGHTS WRAPPED IN MUSIC!
Like YOU'RE THE INSPIRATION by Peter Cetera and David Foster that leads us from the most beautiful kind of human love to the spiritual and divine. Besides to our love we can also imagine singing this as a prayer to God. Click to listen. https://youtu.be/QTqjNS4t3fY
SO WHERE'S THE MUSIC IN POEMS?
Like songs, they are also special thoughts but the music has to be in the words, the thoughts they share and how we respond in our hearts and souls.
HOW THEY AFFECT US IS THE MUSIC!
And what does science say about music? Albert Einstein said:
"...we are souls dressed up in sacred bio-chemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music."
So according to this musician of physics we have non-physical souls writing the music and our physical lives are the words.
These poems came to me by inspiration back in the 70s during my ten-year search for God. So why release them now? Because our troubled world needs love and as Einstein and Jesus both said - God is love. So the whole world needs God.
As for why now more than 50 years after I wrote them, as the Byrds sang in their 1965 hit based on Ecc3:1 In the Bible, "to everything there is a seson and a time for every purpose under heaven" . It is their time now.
MY SOUL WANTED TO ADD SOMETHNG
SPECIAL TO MY LIFE - JOURNEY.
When you explore a National Park, you stop at scenic points and maybe take photos along the way. During my journey to reach the divine, my soul shared 226 thoughts like scenic points for the heart and mind. It was a special kind of music to guide my way. Now it's your turn.
Imagine God inside you and leading you to all you can be on your journey Home. More than 55 5-star reviews on Amazon and the ones here show the poems are making a lot of music in people's lives.
FROM A PROFESSIONAL REVIEW:
There are books that inform and then there are books that transform. Christian Howard’s From My Soul to Yours: The Poem Journeys of a Mystic Mind unmistakably belongs in the latter category. To read it is to walk briefly beside someone who has not only looked deeply into the mysteries of life and God but who has also been shaped, humbled and illuminated by the answers that came from within.
As someone who has spent years reading spiritual literature and poetry, I found From My Soul to Yours to be less a book I read and more a space I entered. It invited me to reflect on my own inner journey, to listen again for the still small voice that is so often drowned out by noise. It reminded me gently and insistently that love is not only the destination but the vehicle. And that the soul always knows the way home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an amazing book! I am blown away at how amazing this book is! These poems could have only been inspired by God and I think they will touch and inspire people in all sorts of ways! Christian's words will live on for a very long time...! I truly believe they will inspire and touch many people for generations to come!
5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite book of poems! I absolutely loved these poems. If it weren't for the fact that I had to stop and contemplate the poems at times, I wouldn't have put the book down. Christian Howard is a remarkable writer, infusing his thoughts with such grace and love that they jump right off the page. The poems of love and devotion are my favorite, but all of the poems made me stop and think and added such beauty to everyday experiences.
SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
During my journey to find God these 226 poems came by inspiration. So they are not mine I was just the doorway and here's an experience to describe that doorway. I was with my spiritual mom for what would be my last visit as she lay dying in hospital. As I sat by her bed, Archangel Michael came to my inner vision and stood beside me. I never share these experiences so said nothing. Michael told me to tell her he was there. I still said nothing. He told me again to tell her, so I finally said - "Archangel Michael wants me to tell you he is here."
She immediately burst into tears and said: "I was just praying for him to be with me." So as far as I am concerned Michael and the poems came through the same doorway. They came from love. Tune into your spiritual space now and let them be your journey. Let God lead you by the hand because I share them as love-gifts to your life as they were for mine.
AND HOW IMPORTANT IS LOVE? Beautiful Jesus said God is love and those who live in love live in God and God in them.
EINSTEIN WROTE.
Love is God and God is love. If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
THINK OF THESE POEMS AS HUGS FROM MY SOUL TO YOURS
to inspire and uplift you on your own journey to the divine.
BOTH JESUS AND EINSTEIN SAID GOD IS NOT SOME
OLD GUY WITH A BEARD SITTING ON A CLOUD.
They said God is a force, they said God is love. And as Einstein also said:
"GOD DID NOT CREATE EVIL. JUST AS DARKNESS IS AN
ABSENCE OF LIGHT, EVIL IS AN ABSENCE OF GOD."
HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS THAT SHOW LOVE!
AND SPEAKING OF WORD- SONGS, AMERICA IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONGS EVER WRITTEN!
Our beautiful planet and its life are songs without words we see, hear, and feel with our eyes, ears, hearts and souls. And we never had to ask! Click the photo to see the GALLERY in full screen.

EVERYTHING CAME FROM LOVE and for all of us here, life is all about finding love because that is the only fuel for our journeys home after we die.
SO FOR ALL OF US HERE, WE HAVE TO BECOME A WORLD-TEAM SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE!
FROM HUMANS TO ORANGUTANS, TO DEER AND RACOONS AND THE ORCA SO SAD AT LOSING HER CALF SHE PUSHED IT FOR 1000 MILES BEFORE LETTING IT GO, everything needs love. And if God is love, this means everything needs God, and we're very lucky because-
GOD CAN'T RUN OUT!
And we can never get too much love!
Thank you for letting me share my soul's love with you!
