Falling Water: Stories Poetry

By Blaine Coleman

This book takes a deep, insightful look at life in all its fullness: the beauty, love, and laughter alongside the suffering inherent in simply being alive. It shows the chance life gives us, the gift to choose our own spiritual path, to fight our way through the briars and brambles of deceit, those thorns in life that bring suffering, and how that gift brings the joys that make being alive worthwhile.
Many of the stories are from journals I've been keeping for several years; others are new to this book. Some of the stories are sad, or melancholy, and some bring laughter, but woven through them all is an unwavering thread of optimism, of hope in the underlying goodness of life.
All the poetry is compiled from handwritten notes in those journals. It ranges from unusual to more traditional.
Between the often-poetic prose and the poetry, I think there's something in this book for every taste and hope that all who read these words will take something from it that might swirl like a mist in the back of the mind.

"I'm actually reading this as slowly as I can because I don't want it to end I feel as though each tale should be savored and thought about." 1D82Many

"The vivid descriptions are captivating, and I found myself immersed in the rich imagery." Estela Vazquez Perez- author of "Light & Shadows"

"The tales will swirl around the edges of your consciousness, striking in their familiarity yet fresh and evocative. From the first well-crafted word to the end of every thought-provoking tale, I remained bemused and seduced. I think you will be too."
Kelly Accinni Author of the "Alien Intervention" series"

"Wander into this book and you'll find something you forgot, something important."Ben Nelson, USA TODAY Best Selling Author "The Cosega series" and more.
