As time passed, I came to discover within myself a kind of spiritual homelessness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems are the results of a year spent in quiet, attentive evening walks through the streets of our neighborhood-a reaching out to the Spirit of another place... and a deeply personal encounter with its rhythms, its hesitations, and its unexpected graces. In opening myself to its idiosyncrasies-and offering a few of my own in return-a subtle exchange unfolded: a conversation carried by intuition, silence, and mutual recognition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat lives in these pages is not a recollection of what was, but a record of what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to welcome-and be welcomed in. Each poem offers a small threshold-an invitation to notice, to soften, to discover the Spirit of a place that has always been there, waiting for us to acknowledge it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers drawn to themes of belonging, displacement, spiritual attentiveness, and the quiet work of learning to live in a different landscape, these poems present a companionable, contemplative path.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.14 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248981434675,"sku":"9798994720202","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cSPoJk5BFu9798994720202.webp?v=1776317713","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/fingernail-moon-a-coalcracker-looks-for-glassboro-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
