A single light,
He follows,
A light in the distance,
Just beyond his reach,
He perceives it as a prism,
Yet he knows it as his soul,
If he could but capture it,
For a moment or an eternity,
He would know all,
There is to know.

Whoa! Lovely. So he keeps following the light in hope to know all things but in the end, he learns much from the journey alone and so he continues. Lol.

Hi there, J.J
So good to hear from you. How are your books doing, great I am sure! I would like to apologize for the comment that I never answered months ago. I did little on WordPress for months because I developed an eye condition and for almost 9 months I had to say in a darkened room and I never thought to look at “About the Author”. If you still would like to read Garrett’s Bones, a love story with mystery and murder, I would be happy to gift one to you. Just let me know! Karen Anna 🙂

I bought it already and I’m going to publish a nice review of my experience on Amazon when I’m finished.
It is wonderfully written and I enjoyed the chapters I have read so far. Unfortunately I haven’t completed it yet due to circumstances. But I will very soon and you will know.
It’s just funny you said that because I was thinking about reading Garrett’s bones earlier on today and i remembered your blog.
Thank you so much anyway.
