I grew up in a family of three older brothers and two older sisters in a large three story house. When ever anyone of us kids would get sick, my mother would gather us up in the living room and have a camp out at night. My father worked second shift and mother never wanted for us kids to be scattered out over the house in the event she had to make a dash for the hospital. For some reason we always used to get the sickest at night . "There is something about the night time", my mother would say. I never understood that until I became much older and bore my own illnesses, my own heartaches, my own burdens of life. There is something about the nighttime that makes being alone turn into loneliness, that makes being sad turn into unbearable sorrow, that makes a single tear turn into a wellspring of emotion falling dead upon a cold pillow. Indeed there is something about the night that brings about the stark cold realities of life and at the same time can awaken your spirit of hope for the promise of morning.
I entitled this book, "Lessons By Moonlight", because it has been in my darkest hours that I have learned the most about myself. With much gratitude, my darkest hours have always been lit with the light of the moon for guidance and the Light of God's love for strength.
Lessons By Moonlight is a collection of poems, inspirations, and thoughts that I hope will bless your soul and be a light to you upon your own paths. I recently told a friend that I don't want anything that I have been through to be wasted. I don't want any tear that I have cried, any sadness that I have felt, any disappointment that has hindered me to hinder someone else in the same way. Instead I would rather share them with others to enlighten their path perhaps steer them through their storm a little better or just avoid it altogether. Nothing wasted, here are my lessons...…..
