Keep Breathing my first book
I started writing this 22 years ago.
From war, loss, love, and faith, to the quiet grace that never left.
This poem is from my upcoming book Keep Breathing.
It’s about carrying what you can’t speak of… and finding peace anyway.
I’m giving a free copy of Keep Breathing to my first 10,000 subscribers as a thank you for being part of this journey.
Every breath we take is prayer enough.
