"I have given up my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy," is the slogan on a t-shirt. Fantasy is imagination cut loose from truth and it has its own place in the scheme of things. But what if imagination is used in the service of truth, such as in poetry that expresses inner longings we bring to the light and grounding of reality.The spirit of truth doesn''t speak to us in easy soundbites, but in whispers and cries and groans that call us to inner awareness and move us to deep engagement with nature, with God and with people. The spirit of truth doesn''t give us easy satisfactions but opens our eyes to new awareness of how things are and gives us glimpses of how they could be.  This book looks at faith in different seasons of our spiritual journey, the seasons of Emergence, Loss, Renewal, and Celebration that spiral us through our days.

"Lucid Malware takes readers on an existential tumble through the darkness, and DylanSonderman's words are like a net that catches us, as if there's a true seer guiding us through themathematic problem of self and reality."- Chad W. Lutz, author of For the Time Being.Viruses aren't classified as living things, at least, not by the definitions used by most scientists. They are like glitches in the cosmic code of DNA, spreading and replicating to bring terrifying sickness and fear to a world already teetering in the vacuum of nihilistic materialism and senseless suffering. And like the malicious plague that sent our world into a global pandemic in 2020, computer viruses operate in much the same way.Now imagine if there was a computer virus that, instead of causing destruction, the purpose of its code was to bring about a subtle illumination in the user, or in this case, the reader. Imagine, if you will, that it replicated and spread to increase the love and cheerfulness on earth, to bring hope amidst the pain of mental illness and existential angst, to help humans smile again.To quote the great martial artist and philosopher Bruce Lee: "If there is always light, you don't experience light anymore. You have to have the rhythm of light and darkness." This poetry is an attempt to balance the scale, an attempt to stimulate and liberate us within this ever-changing rhythm. Lucid_Malware.zip is an attempt to shine a light in your living darkness.
