Interview with St. Joseph: A preview from the book: Creative Life: A Contemplative Soul

Angels have a list
Angels have all the names in the list
To question among men
Travel among history
The primary name appeared
In the iPod searching
Joseph of Nazareth
The junior angel said

They traveled to Nazareth
Back in the history
To spot the Joseph
As he lived in Nazareth
Small town Nazareth
Hills and valleys surround
Farms and fields were around
Lilies and wild blooms were abundant
Angel traveled to Nazareth
In the quest to find the knowledge of Joseph
The trinity presence in his family
As He fostered the Son of God

Long traveled roads
Lead to the town
Hills and caves
Surround the town
Mud and stone houses
Habitat people
Children play in the street happy
Elders sat under trees
Chatted stories
Cattle, mule, and donkeys
Walk along the streets
Simple beautiful town
The Nazareth
Where the Joseph family lived

It is afternoon
Angels spotted Joseph
Near the lumbar yard
Selecting the woods
To make yokes
Angels watched him
Making bargains in the buying
Strong woods to his work shop
Angels went near him
Approaching in introduction
Joseph invited them
In a greeting smile
In his usual casual way
In to his house
