    About this ebook

    In this book is a winding, fog-covered trail leading as far as the eye can see, with each footstep that the reader takes along it revealing more complexity and wonder, so much that it can often help to lift one up from the low clouds of sorrow. But that's just the first story.

    In it is also the thrill of a race through a canyon, past crimson shadows that wave goodbye, leaving only happiness even as the wind chills you to the bone. In a nutshell, it is the story of how even if you see nothing but a blue sky, there is something one can learn from it. When reading Geodes, Canyons, and Skies, you will see this theme exemplified in its short stories.

      GEODE OF LONELINESS

      I woke up with the call of the rooster, yet I was as calm as if I was still dreaming. The red and gold light shone through the stained-glass windows on the sheet as I got myself up and clumsily attempted to make the bed. Grogginess is a funny thing; it can make me put on my shirt on backward, forget to put on my glasses, and miss out on a day trip to Fort Ross with my
