If it is meant for you, you won't have to beg for it.
You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for destiny.

I am a freedom and justice warrior, you will find some of my work hard hitting with truth regarding the human condition and loss of freedom, liberty and Divine rights. My sincere hope is that it touches you and stirs a passionate pursuit for the truth and a love for all things free and beautiful in this time we share as life on this earth.
As an Irish American writer, love and passion shine through in my writing. The Blissful Raven was created to share my passion for writing words of life ™ through poetry and a dissident pen.
My writing expresses experiences from many cultures around the world that I've had the pleasure of working and living among and listening to their history, stories and struggles as well as in my home America. I fight for the freedom we all are losing everyday in the current fervor of fear this is my mission through writing.
Through the eyes and heart of a Celtic heritage, my writing abounds with freedom, nature, humor, love, and emotions, capturing the beauty and diversity of a life that I truly love!

Free To Be
We are a constant ebb and flow
Whispers in the atmospheric air
No matter whence we go
Our destination is everywhere
To be free from form and limitations
Like an infinite unbound forever
Floating on silk threaded sensations
Never a murmur nor a quiver
The whole of creation a gift and free
As we explore the great expanses
And so it rings true for you and me
When we rise to take life's chances
Replenishing the solidity of wisdom
In everything we feel and see
Dancing to the distant drum
Escaping in absolute glee

A day's journey is like filling an old hope chest
Gently placing in kindness through words professed
Keeping us comforted in a pale soft peacefulness
Through eyes that see love's actions purely expressed
This day we wrap in beauty and warm golden light
While the emotions and hearts take winged flight
Encompassing all we can observe by our sight
Until the gathering of twinkling stars at night

The intriguing Common Raven has accompanied people around the Northern Hemisphere for centuries, following their wagons, sleds, sleighs, and hunting parties in hopes of a quick meal.
Ravens are among the smartest of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated problems invented by ever more creative scientists.
These big, sooty birds thrive among humans and in the back of beyond, stretching across the sky on easy, flowing wing beats and filling the empty spaces with an echoing croak.
