Stories, Poetry, Art & Other Wisdom
"Read these pages carefully. Read them with patience. Read them as testimony. Read them as evidence that even in hard places, young people are capable of beauty, good judgment, imagination, and hope." With these words, veteran teacher James G. DeLarme, who has worked for over 10 years with the young people of The PATHfinder Club, invites readers to explore the treasures offered in this volume. These are "theories" in the form of stories, poems, and artwork, shaped from wisdom and longing, grace and generosity.
"There's no definitive 'Theory of Love' because nobody can figure it out," writes author Brandon Gee, whose opening poem captures the spirit of so much of the artistry in this collection. In these pages, creative souls unravel mysteries and ponder possibilities, wave wands with their words and weave magic with their songs. By the time we are reading Selena A's "Just Because" and she tells us, "just because the sky is gray does not mean it will not turn blue again," we know goodness is guiding us, and so is wisdom.
