    About this ebook

    "As if woven into the same blanket,
    I felt the connective thread between everything and everyone.
    As I raised my hands and closed my eyes to surrender to death,
    I knew,
    I was surrendering to life."

    Kindling for Your Next Fire is a collection of thoughts and poems that take a journey through addiction, loss, spirituality and healing. It is an earnest seeking of identity and spiritual repair.
