Afternoon Light on an Old Porch
Rediscover the "ordinary enormous miracles" of a life well-lived in this soul-stirring collection of prose poetry and reflective vignettes.
Afternoon Light on an Old Porch is a gentle invitation to slow down and find beauty in the quiet, unhurried moments of daily existence. In a world that never stops moving, these pages offer a sanctuary—asking you to look again at the familiar things you have known forever: the steam from a morning cup of tea, the way a garden changes after rain, or the quiet legacy of a mother’s hands.
Moving through the seasons of the year and the seasons of a life, this collection explores:
Mindfulness & Presence: Discover the power of the "not now" and the beauty found in simple rituals like folding laundry or watching the afternoon light move across a kitchen floor.
The Wisdom of Nature: Find solace in the steady rhythm of the natural world, from the patience of a heron by the water to the "mercilessly hopeful" arrival of spring.
Aging & Continuity: Reflect on the deep comfort of long-standing friendships, the joy of learning new things later in life, and the strength found in moving through grief and change.
This is a book for anyone seeking a moment of peace and a reminder that the "good years" are not waiting in the future—they are happening right now, in the quiet spaces of our ordinary afternoons.
Step onto the porch, stay a while, and see your world in a new light.
