For 
Rachel S. Ringler – 
wife, best friend, truest partner, 
and
the kindest person I have ever known – 
I dedicate this collection  
with the deep reserves of love 
that you have awakened 

 

“Two are better than one…for, if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. But, woe to the one who is alone when he falls, for he has no companion to lift him up. And, if two lie together, then they will become warm, but how can one person alone become warm?”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-11
