Your Tiny Light

Idaho writer and poet Dena Parker Duke has taken the poem "All the Time" from her book of poetry entitled Tiny Lights and adapted it for a younger audience to offer up her best recipe for resilience in Your Tiny Light: The Divine Light You Carry."If there was only one thing I could offer the world it would be found in driving home the message of the divine light we carry inside. This is the message my younger self needed to hear, but took decades to name and reclaim. This is the message so quickly forgotten . . . that we seem most reluctant to believe, and yet is perhaps the greatest source of our own resilience. Please join me in trying to make this message clear to children today. My hope is that they will recognize it much sooner and help pass it on for generations to come."Dena Parker Duke has published three books of poetry: In Your Bones: Poems of Radical Forgiveness; Tiny Lights: Small Poems for Big Moments; and When You Know: Poems of Self-Love.
