Summary
Details

In the deepest nights, even a single lamp can guide us home

In this life-affirming collection of poems, prayers and travelogues, Tom Yeager journeys through inner and outer landscapes, riding out to the boundaries of his worldview, then questing further.

His explorations begin in his native home of California, where he plumbs the depths of a lonely past and meets his memories with open-hearted compassion. The painfully shy boy he used to be, the young horseback rider who once dreamed of Olympic gold; the successful company man who longed for his father's approval: Tom extends a hand of friendship to each of his past selves, opening the door to wholeness and belonging.

Voyaging to the present, Tom pays homage to his blessings, sets intentions to be kind and courageous, and celebrates enriching friendships near and far.

The second part of the book captures Tom's adventures in Vietnam, his place of residence for a number of years, and Tanzania, where he rode across the African savannah on horseback. Throughout his travels, Tom expresses a deep appreciation for being introduced to different cultures, honoring Mark Twain's words: ""Travel is fatal to prejudice.""

Whether in writing or conversation, on horseback or by bus, Tom seeks out genuine connections and the courage to meet the bountiful challenges life brings along the way. His journey has been a long and winding road... never easy but always worthwhile.

This book will appeal to readers who enjoyed Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet and the poetry of Rumi, the great Sufi mystic, who long ago said, ""Travel brings power and love back into your life.""
