Trust Stillness

Poems for the Second Half of Life

For decades I kept moving — too afraid to slow down, certain that in stillness, I would slip below the waves of life. This new collection of poems intersects with a mature perspective, one that emerges when you become content to drift, allowing the waves carry you. It is then you may discover you can breathe under water. These are poems for anyone learning, slowly, to surrender into the second half of life.
