A collection of short reflections and poems that anyone can read, reflect, and absorb, this work is a kind of spiritual diary that records the author's praying, reflecting, and contemplating on his ordinary experiences. They reflect his keen awareness of the delicate, gentle presence of the Divine within one's heart and soul.

A Quiet Place Within is a collection of short reflection entries and poems that anyone - young and old, religious or spiritual - can read, reflect and absorb even amid the humdrum and busyness of everyday life. The writings are the result of years of praying, reflecting and contemplating on ordinary experiences, social and political issues of the days. Most of all, they reflect the author's awareness of the delicate and gentle presence of the Divine within one's heart and soul.
The author acknowledges that a gift with words is a grace in his life something gifted in his life because he believes that such words - expressed as reflections or as poems - represent bread for his journey and fruits of a reflective life. He asserts the centrality of serious, daily reflection because he believes that without reflection, life is no longer worth living. Yet he acknowledges that reflection is not done only through our own ability and effort; it is always a gifted grace in which one sees everything in the light of God and understands everything according to the Spirit.
The book is offered as a practical help for the reflective life of the reader, not only for Christians but for anyone who searches for meaning and integrity in their everyday life.
