"Our darkest days/ become the currency/ we exchange for salvation We are all guilty We are all innocent All of us." The Place to Put Things: a field guide to Noticing compassionately takes each reader along a path of embracing life's ambiguity and complexity to the fullest degree. Through vivid poetic storytelling imbued with vulnerability, author David Czarnecki reminds us that big feelings ground us in our collective humanity. Thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs can shape our realities in both harmful and transformative ways. Whether it's the nostalgia evoked from a photograph of a young girl in her wedding dress or small moments of wonder bestowed by a cherished pet, the key is to sit with the troughs and crests and everything in between. This collection of poignant poetry is all about "conceding, / embracing the complicated, / and] putting things down / to] gently rest."
