Water (e-book) (used book) | T Jason Vanderlaan | bookbook.eu

Description

We experience life in cycles: calm seas followed by raging storms. We long for the peaceful moments, while we look with apprehension towards the turbulent times. But are tranquil waters always good? Are rough waves always bad? And how do we make sense of these cycles that seem to happen at random, both in their frequency and intensity? Whether we are wandering aimlessly across the ocean or searching for some distant shoreline, we wonder if there is a purpose to all we go through. We want to know that our pain isn't wasted. Would it change anything if we knew that there was an unseen hand guiding us through our journey, giving us both calm and chaos? Wouldn't it be easier to weather the storms if we knew that they had a purpose, mysterious as it might be? What if we could know that at the end of it all, there would be something good? Water is the second book of the Elemental Endeavors series. Using poetry, prose, and photography, T. Jason Vanderlaan searches for meaning amidst both the easy and difficult parts of our existence. His own journey has led him to discover a source of hope and strength that has carried him through - and sometimes into - the storms of life.
