A Beautiful Thirst - Kindle Non-Fiction

A Beautiful Thirst (Daily Meditations For the Parched Soul) 
by Thom Byxbe and Terry Dale 

A few years ago, I painted a picture that I entitled ‘A Beautiful Thirst.’ Intended to portray a songwriter as he journeys toward a source of inspiration, it hangs above my desk even as I write these words. In the foreground of the painting, a bucket dangles from a hand-crank over an old stone well; musical symbols are engraved in the mortared rocks of the well’s circular base. In the background, a man with a walking-stick approaches the structure under the light of the stars and a full moon. Musical imagery aside, the painting is a reminder that at some time in our lives, all of us will be compelled to engage in some kind of quest.

The ‘seekers’ on some of the following pages include an auto mechanic, an impoverished young artist and a homeless man, as well as an insecure boyfriend, an elderly maven on her deathbed, and a young musician creatively inspired by the girl he plans to marry. While some of these people are striving to align their lives with spiritual principles or are in pursuit of an artistic vision, others are going after worthy things but in a misguided way. Still others have followed the false gods of wealth and power or have given up on their dreams altogether.

Anyone who knows what it’s like to ‘be on fire’ for something will be able to relate to the characters depicted in this book, and will also discover things to contemplate as they set about quenching their own ‘beautiful thirst.’
