In addition to that he is compiling another book on his many poetry writings. Many of the poems he will share in this book are of such a personal nature that some have never even been seen by anyone besides Justin. In this book he will share writings from some of the most personal moments in his life, from the most triumphant to the most tragic. This compilation from some of his many writings will be completed as well sometime in the fall of 2004. For further information contact him directly through this site. On his poetry Justin has this to say..."for many years I rejected the idea that I was a talented writer and had a gift. It made me feel funny to admit that to myself. When I was 23 I remember my roommate and best friend telling me I had a special gift after he saw some of my writings. He told me that God gave me that gift and I need to be grateful and use it! He was very committed to me knowing this. Two months after that he died in a car accident I wrote a eulogy that I read at his grave in front of several hundred people. I simply knew I had to and he would want me to. I heard and felt hundreds of people laugh at the same time, seconds later heard and felt hundreds of people cry...it was a powerful moment. As sad as I was I was able to stay strong in that moment and I said goodbye to my friend the right way, the way he wanted me to!.....his words telling me of my gift never left my mind. Eventually I came to accept that I had a talent that needed to be developed. Everyone has their own talents and gifts. One of my greatest gifts is my ability to express feelings, thoughts and emotions through words." Click here to Read Justin's Journal |
