Part 4: Faith, History, and Inspiration

At the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, I went to a Bible study. We talked about Martin Luther, John Calvin, Jan Hus—the early voices insisting each person should seek truth for themselves, not just follow someone holding a title or crown. The elephant in the room, of course, being the Pope.

Funny enough, I asked Pastor Chris, “So… where are we at with this story? Are we still in the Middle East?” My close friend Jim—Romeo, married to Rachel, an amazing poet-writer who inspires me—just smiled. I was embarrassed, but it sparked reflection. And yes, the guillotine thought popped back in.

From that discussion came inspiration. Two, three, even five poems in a few days. Pastor Chris gives off good energy, and somehow, the higher power reaches out through me—not as a chore, but naturally, creatively.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
