Enough Light for Today: Poems of Mercy, Rest, and Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195978662)

Enough Light for Today is a collection of poems about the holiness hidden in ordinary life.

Morning light on a kitchen floor. Coffee before the house wakes. Worn hands and empty chairs. The slow grace of a marriage after many years. The ache of a child grown distant. A dog getting old. A prayer left unfinished. The quiet that comes when we finally stop.

These poems do not ask for certainty. They ask for attention - the kind that notices where God has already been at work in the ordinary hours of an ordinary day.

Written from the second half of life, Enough Light for Today speaks honestly about faith, fatherhood, grief, rest, and the slow work of becoming. With tenderness and spiritual depth, these poems attend to what most of us move too quickly past: the ten thousand small mercies that sustain a life, the courage it takes to begin again, and the discovery that enough light for the next step is, in fact, enough.

For anyone who has prayed without feeling anything and kept praying anyway. For anyone who has loved imperfectly and kept loving. For anyone sitting in a waiting room, an empty house, or a quiet morning, looking for something to hold onto that does not require pretending.

Enough light is not everything we want. But it is not nothing.
