In her second poetry collection, Barbara Kingsolver offers reflections on the practical, the spiritual, and the wild. She begins with "how to" poems addressing everyday matters such as being hopeful, married, divorced; shearing a sheep; praying to unreliable gods; doing nothing at all; and of course, flying. Next come rafts of poems about making peace (or not) with the complicated bonds of friendship and family, and making peace (or not) with death, in the many ways it finds us.

Some of us have allowed our thoughts to create a reality that opposes the Word of God. Instead of trusting Jesus for all things, we have become ensnared by the tentacles of fear. Instead of moving toward Jesus, some have found a false sense of hope in possession and people. The good news is that whatever mindset you’re in that opposite of truth can change in an instant. We’ve programmed ourselves to set aside Sunday for a day of worship. What about the other six days? Jesus wants your total life, not a one-day courtship.

When trials come, soar like an eagle. Before I learned to soar, I was powerless and defeated. Naïve of my abilities, I continued swirling in a perpetual cycle of confusion and disappointments. I repeatedly experienced storms that appeared impossible to conquer, frequently finding myself lost, discombobulated, and alone. My lack of knowledge, faith, and trust in God contributed to my inability to rise. Once I learned my worth and how to spread my wings, I used the winds of the storm to strengthen my abilities.
