...In the heart of darkness...

In my grief I stumbled out into the raging storm, the chilly rain a stark contrast to the burning tears on my face. I still heard my wife calling, her voice a desperate cry that haunted me, “Where are you going? I need you.

...At a loss for words...

The goal was to write something beautiful. Something that would inspire and encourage. I wanted to write about cliffs and storms and weathered rock and the beauty that lies there. I wanted to write about the joy that comes from standing at the edge of the sea, as the water bubbles over your feet.

...Over the edge...

They say you don’t forget the day your world falls off a cliff.I used to sit at my cliff, feet dangling over the edge, feeling the peace of a sunrise, the coolness of a sunset. I would drink in the breeze. Monitor the cloud shapes. Watch the fishermen below.
