About The Heart Speaks
Scott writes poetry and prose with evocative images, deep emotions, and the sense of interconnectedness that he intuits in all things. Scott is a spiritual seeker who has glimpsed the divine in the ordinary and strives daily to deepen his connection with that sacred source. This man’s writings are enough to calm the most restless of minds and whose insight seems to unlock new worlds of meaning and purpose. He is a bridge between the human and the cosmic, a reminder of our place in the larger scheme of things, and a beacon of hope for those who seek a deeper understanding of the mysteries of existence. This book has questions at the end of each essay to inspire dialogue in a group setting.
