Preamble
Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face, until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened; then we behold them, and the time when we saw them not is like a dream. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
My introduction to the spiritual realm came in my late teens, living in London. I never really doubted that God existed. My deeper question was how to reach Him. One day, frustrated by what felt like His silence, I challenged God directly. What followed stopped me in my tracks: an overwhelming peace washed over me, unlike anything I could have conjured on my own. It was unmistakably from outside myself. That peace became my compass. I had to know its Source. From that moment, I began pursuing God in earnest, and that pursuit has never stopped. Even now, His presence and companionship remain real to me, and at times, almost tangible. It makes sense, when you think about it: we are not merely physical beings. We are spiritual too.
That is the heartbeat behind this blog, Coram Deo, before the Face of God.
