What you'll learn

Tom Yeager, author, traveler, and lifelong equestrian, invites readers on a journey through inner landscapes and outer worlds with this collection of poems, prayers, and travelogues. The book weaves together reflections on personal growth, gratitude, and self-forgiveness with vivid accounts of global exploration, creating a tapestry of life lived fully and intentionally.  The author blends humor, humility,  and warmth demonstrating the personal growth often comes from embracing "old enemies" like regret and comparison as unexpected teachers.

From his years living in Vietnam, Yeager chronicles the rhythms of daily life, the energy of Saigon streets, and the serenity of northern mountain lanscapes. His travels take him to Tanzania, where he rides across the sweeping savannahs on horseback.

Throughout the collection, Yeager emphasized that even a single lamp in the deepest night can guide us home. He consistently emphasizes that life's greatest lessons come through engagement, openness, and curiosity.

Tom dedicates the book to people who are told they don't have talent. In the dedication he quotes Fredrik Backman from his book My Friend: "I don't think the most important thing for an artist is being able to draw but having somthing to say." 

"The creative process is an internal flame within each of us and it comes from a willingness to go into the unknown to find it" Tom Yeager
