Preface Throughout my Creative Writing and Speaking journey, i have always had a special place in my psyche for messages. When it comes to Poetry, it, Messages along with Love are the predominant topics of my expressions. I have always felt that understanding things was essential to the lowering of my "Angst Index". This collection of work found in The Vine Keeper is such a work. My intent is that it will assist the reader in their own journey. It is not that i proclaim to provide the answers another may be seeking, but perhaps you will find the questions that help you recognize that you already possess all that you need within you. I too am a Seeker, and i have been since the formative years of my thinking and the acknowledgment of the structure of this world with it's Rite and Rote and various other Dogmas and Indoctrination that does not necessarily provide me any particular insight to the questions we all ask at one time or another.

ForewordMy Beloved Brothers and SistersThese expressions contained herein are reflections of a very definitive time period in my own personal Spiritual Journey. Between the latter half of 2010 and the Spring of 2011 i had the opportunity to visit and tour some very inspiration States and Landmarks in the Western United States such as Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. During that period of my life i noticed the changing in my "expressive voice" and how it related to my position, perspectives, understanding and acceptance of the world about me.I, claiming to be Human, have like so many of us found myself oft' times convexed and perplexed about Life's situations, circumstances and experiences. Many times when we look across the landscape of Creation, there are questions that arise deep within our reasoning, whether it be Emotional, Intellectual or Spiritual. The Poems within these covers are a direct reflection of these juxtapositions and how it relates to such. Many times there was Anger, sometimes Joy and most times Questions. For myself, writing has always been my "Therapy". It did not always matter whether my concerns were satisfied, because the most intriguing aspect in writing i found to be but to address and espouse this inner reflections and queries. "This Too Shall Pass" 'a spiritual poetic journey' is my Poetic Journal of these timesOver the years many have found some solace or identity in my works and expressions, and i hope that you too may find some peace and commonality in them as well. Please enjoy.blessingsnamaste'bill
the light in the window" is 160 pages of Divine Inspiring Poetry. This offering promises to carry you away on a flow of inspiration that will sweep your Heart, Soul and Mind away. As you experience this journey with Bill, you will feel his connection to the collective Universal Energies, the Soul of the very Earth, all of Nature and all People. His voice of Love, Understanding and Deep Passion for Life and Love are, indeed, the whisperings of his soul. Bill's gift of expression sheds an extraordinary light on those moments in life we so often allow to slip through our fingers, let go unnoticed or deem ordinary every day occurrences. For Bill, there-in lie the Treasures. If you asked him about his writing, he would simply say, "It's Not Me.", then he may tell you about a walk in nature, a ride on a bus or a moment stuck in rush hour traffic. His inspiration seemingly flows from a 4th person or on-looker's standpoint. He holds on to it only long enough to grab a pen and notebook where another voice takes over, and he acts as merely the scribe. Thoughtfully and lovingly included in this work are a few selected poems and writings by his children. Their hearts are right there, on the pages, their souls speaking in the clear and concise voice of living and feeling. How fortunate we are to hear them.Juliette ProbstLiterary ConsultantArtistMidway, Utah
Having been a part of the Fifteenth Air Force in 1944, author Bill Hess has written the definitive account on 'his air force', featuring photographs and illustrations throughout. Although the Fifteenth Air Force was dismissed as 'minor leaguers' by the Eighth Air Force, strategic bombers from this outfit had done a 'major league' job on Axis targets in southern Europe following its formation in Italy in November 1943. And the heavy bombers employed by the Fifteenth were of course the venerable B-17 and B-24. At its peak strength, the Fifteenth's B-17 force comprised six groups of four squadrons each, all controlled by the 5th Bomb Wing.
