The Scarlet Thread in the Cloth of Time is a personal account, described through poetry that reflects the changes in my life beginning as a teenager on a kayak trip and eventually transitioning into the varied experiences that I had. The poetry is a heartfelt account of those experiences, feelings of being in nature, some difficult times, Biblical themes, historical events, Israel, my family, and my relationship to God. Two of the poems Green Olive Tree , and By Way of the Land Laid Waste were previously published in my book, The Tree of Life , published by Wipf and Stock in 2021.
