Running with Sunbeams

Book Cover & Preview Text
On many of my walks I would often spot a sunbeam on a wild flower or catch a glimpse of sun in the distance which would stop me in my tracks. These times are some of my most precious and so that is how Running with Sunbeams came to be.
Running with Sunbeams is a book you will not want to put down. I think insight can apply to each and every one of us. I know in my life, hindsight was always there lurking in the back of my mind. I have had to recognize that every day is special. Today is an important day and it is getting late and I must be off to run with sunbeams.
Eileen Kerr Blakeman
Better Late than Never
I was sitting on a bee's nest
It did not feel so grand
I wondered how the bees felt
Not knowing, I up and ran
Humanity
There comes a time
When life stands still
The days are long …
One after the other
This may be a resting time
A joining of body and mind
To go out in the world
To better it for living souls
My Time
So peaceful as a morning walk
So still and quiet as a rock
A thought can turn a light so bright
To show a wrong from a right

About the Book
You Are Here
The beauty from your soul
Gently brings the stars to shine,
Twinkling lights from above
Spreading angel dust so fine
Upon the night with tender love.
In a collection of colorful yet simple poems, Eileen Kerr Blakeman shares both poignant and lighthearted reflections that encourage others to contemplate their lives and perhaps even catch a sunbeam along the way. While pondering such relatable topics as time, nature, and the search for success, Blakeman also shares verse that finds the humor in starting a new day with a bowl of Cheerios, a journal that is too pretty to use, and a tiny mouse that, while seeking shelter away from the cold, leaves little reminders of his presence.
Running with Sunbeams is a charming compilation of lyrical verse that recognizes the specialness of each day and the beauty around us.
