BLIND FAITH LEAPS

is a collection of quiet, luminous desert tales that follow the wanderings of Smokelight — a toad who was once clay on an artist’s table, now alive and breathing beneath the wide Sonoran sky. In these seven interwoven stories, Smokelight meets a trickster coyote, an old rattler, a barking jackrabbit, an ancient armadillo, and other desert dwellers, each a living mirror reflecting a hidden truth back to him — and to us. Together, these encounters form a gentle arc of remembering: from still pools left by the rains, through cracked arroyos and thorned shade, to the final hush where Smokelight understands he has always been whole — and real.

Mirrors of Smokelight is a tender invitation to pause, to listen, and to trust that what we seek outside ourselves has been within all along. Part fable, part koan, part desert lullaby, these pages will leave you watching the world — and yourself — with softer eyes.
