A Pocketful of Starlight

Book excerpt: A Pocketful of Starlight is a collection of twenty-three vignettes of the human condition, beautifully supported by the magical water-colours of Denise Williams. Some are wrapped in the genre of fairy tale, and the trappings of times past; some border on the fringes of consciousness and the mundane, but in each is embedded a gem that gives us all nurturance, hope, and connection. They direct us to look to the simple, with eyes of wonder, ears that can hear silence, and hearts that are open. We are left to intuit what could happen, what will happen...if only we can Pocket some of that Starlight! It is a book to read, to browse, to read again and again. It is a book for the young at heart, to read, and to be read to...
