<p> </p><p>Become the Pebble is an eclectic collection of poems, written over time, comparable to the lengthy process of how a pebble is formed through decades of being shaped by the elements. This book reflects our shared life experiences...what we have observed and how we have participated. The title also has specific meaning. It expresses the courage to take the leap, as a pebble tossed in the water, to be willing to get wet, face the unknown, and do whatever it takes to become who you are created to be; and accomplish your purpose. We may never know the far-reaching effects of our actions, akin to ripples created by a pebble.</p>
