Imagine the long river of time distilled into drops, and each drop is a moment. Drip-the view from a train as it lumbers cross-country-drop-the wilting of a summer rose-drip-the silhouette of a loved one in the window. This collection of poetry, written by Ross T. Lucas over the course of a lifetime, captures the experiences of a lifetime-some of them lived, and some of them only imagined. Dip into these pages and discover reflections on love, loss, grief, pain, wondering, whimsy, and awe. Struggle through doubt and questions of faith. Come close to the heart of nature and find joy in the everyday moments that make life worth living. Let the words carry you away into the timeless connections we all share with each other.
