about the author
In the pond that is just a few minutes from my office, I hear words of stillness, of peace, and of the call to be set apart. Sitting by the mighty river that winds near my home, I read words of trust and of deep submission upon the light flowing currents. When I visit the shore and the ocean just an hour’s drive away, I learn of mystery, I learn of smallness and greatness, and I learn of love. And from time to time, when the rain comes down, I see humility, growth, and how movements develop—one drop at a time.
