Short Stories
The Fox & the Flea
The Fox and the Flea is a short story about all of the things we are powerless to control, and the judgements we can make out of frustration and fear— judgements even, about ourselves. It's available for pre-order on Kindle before March 18th, and the-very- thin paperback version will be available from Amazon on March 8th... but the paper back version has a lovely illustration!
Embark on an adventure with the incomparable Mr. Flea as he becomes aware of the world around him, enjoying the wonderful things in his simple life, yet feeling a deep empathy for the for the tragic. With a sensitive and contemplative heart, Mr. Flea grows weary of all that he can't control. With no power to help those around him, his empathy turns to guilt, and guilt gives way to anger— especially when the circle of life ends in death. But then a wonderful thing happens; a new friend shows up— well, several friends in truth. The forest might have seemed a mundane place before, but the truth is, mundane is a thing it never was. The forest had always been a silent dance of wisdom and magic, just patiently waiting for his heart to stir. Mr. Flea's extraordinary journey turns his guilt and anger to acceptance and faith, finding love and wisdom along the way. And the most important friends he had, were the friends he hadn't known— but even though he didn't know them, they loved him all the same.
