Scenes is short stories and poems that capture the ordinary and make it extraordinary. They have the reader pause, for just a moment, and see the happiness, the quiet, the beauty all around. The pride of a parent, the drumbeat of history, the joy of a child. The stories are short, tightly written, and encapsulate a complete "scene" that anyone can relate to. The poems, likewise are easily readable, and relatable, but bring the reader back to realizing what they've already known. Read them over and over to bring a sense of grounding. Enjoy.
