I hope these poems turn the lights on for you and help you see beyond, help you catch those everyday moments of mundane holiness. "In those moments, the whole world is a tangled poem our hearts are too clumsy to unravel." So here is your thread. Go ahead-pick it up. Follow it. See where it leads you.

You and I, dear, are tiny sparks in a world without the nightlights on. Some days the moonlight dazzles; other days, darkness devours. Left to itself, a spark easily vanishes. But with the breath of the fire builder, it becomes something great. I pray this little book encourages you that even the smallest sparks may reflect the Son. Some poems and characters come solely from my imagination, but many were based off of personal experience or observations of others. You will find pieces of me in this book and, I hope, pieces of you.
