Virgilio is on a quiet journey...and wondering... 
May I just say that of the small group of brilliant minds who can be moved by a few words…I am proud to be one of them. Reading your blog is like falling in love with life all over again.
…i was embraced by a beautiful silence when i read your inspiring words. i bow my head in gratitude. thank you so much. be well.
Thank you for including me in your blog roll. I am very honored and humbled.
there’s something “homey” (hope i get the right description) about the way you write, just like Arlene’s. so pleasant to read.
Thank you for liking my latest article on Lizzie Joy’s Photo Suite. And so I have found your site. I am enthralled by the simplicity and eloquence of your words and photos and have clicked to follow so that I don’t miss your future postings. You might also like my other site – http:lizziejoysessenceofspirit.wordpress.com and the latest article about stillness [sorry I don’t know how to put a proper link in here, but you can link through from the photo suite if you wish.] Thank you so much for a lovely start to my day. Bless you.
thanks also for visiting, lizziejoy. i fully enjoyed reading your articles and looking at your images. they have that calming element to them. will be following you too.
Dear Virgilio, I have been slowly taking my time savouring your wonderful pieces here. This is a sanctuary of peace, of stillness and beauty which must surely be an overflow from your heart. Thank you for blessing my heart. I look forward to getting to know you. With all my warmest wishes, Sharon

Hello, your blog is beautiful.
thanks, Trish, for the uplifting comments.
Hi Virgilio,
Your blog is full of peace and warmth, which is a reflection of your pure soul. It is truly an honor for me to have you in my blog. I hope you will continue enjoying the posts in my blog, and that my posts do not disappoint you. But please let me know if they do, though. You are as free as a bird.
Thank you again, many blessings and much love to you. 🙂
Subhan Zein
that’s nice of you, Subhan. thanks for the uplifting words. i also enjoy reading your writings where i can sense Rumi and Kahlil Gibran.
Thank you very much, Virgilio. Just out of curiosity, what did you actually mean by ‘ reading your writings where i can sense Rumi and Kahlil Gibran’?
Subhan Zein
Hi Subhan, thanks for seeking clarity to my comments. what I meant was that you are a deep and insightful thinker like Rumi and Gibran…your thinking, as well as the eloquence of your words, is aligned with them. that’s how i see it. Reading Rumi and Gibran fascinates and inspires me which i felt when i read your writings (I can Pour Light into a Cup, In Pursuit of the Beloved, A Wondrous Nightingale, My Words are the Ink of Love, A Fleeting Moment of Surprise…)…to me they are wisdom-filled… your beautiful poem, “I can Pour Light into your Cup,” i find very moving. i hope i explained it well. best regards.
Oh, wow. I am humbly thankful. Blessings and happiness be with you, Virgilio, as always.. 🙂
Subhan Zein

Thanks Virgilio for your enjoyable, beautiful and meaningful posts.

This internet thing suddenly becomes a place of great mystery, how it is possible today to encounter other souls who sing the same melodies, and who strum at harp at the same pace. i can see your soul from where I am, and I am sincerely taken over by awe… like i just saw myself again, on that well, looking in. God bless.
thanks, fathersunny, for the insightful thoughts…indeed, the web is a mysterious place…and it looks like we’re in harmony…i’m also trying to marry photography and spirituality and nature and poetry…Thomas Merton is a great influence…God bless.
Thanks for your sharing. I’m encouraged by yet another who is on the journey that I’m attempting. We all encourage each other.
yes, Bill…same path…thanks too.
Loved reading “That Quiet Space”; “I Just Know”; “The Trail” and many more. Your writing style is very unique in many ways and very philosophical. I’ll have to come back to read more. Keep thinking and writing.

Hi Virgilio, I thought of you when I learned about this workshop on self-publishing as I would love for you to publish all your amazing works. What is one hour in a day compared to so many moments of serenity you can share your gift with the world.
http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT199962&R=EVT199962
Hi Tay, nice to see you here at WordPress and thanks for the wonderful thoughts and encouragement. Truth is that I’ve been thinking about going into self-publishing. I’ve received some offers from two publishing companies. Still weighing my options though. In due time, I hope, I can go full blast. Right now I’m working on a couple of personal projects. I’ll take a look a the workshop. Again, a huge thanks.
Your words are so simple and yet so profound. It would be a delight to publish your works. I work for a small/medium publishing company in London. We love writers and poets like you. Let me know what you think, we might be able to take a journey together.
Thanks, Seyi. Yes, we can explore the possibility.
