Steve Garnaas-Holmes is a writer, composer, retired United Methodist minister, and walker-in-the-woods. He writes a daily reflection Unfolding Light. For 37 years he wrote and performed music and comedy in the Montana Logging and Ballet Co. He lives in Wells, Maine with his wife Beth. They have three grown sons.

He says: "Unfolding Light is a collection of 184 poems gathered from 45 years of writing. They are part of my practice of wonder. They include reflections on daily life, scripture passages, walking in the woods, contemplative prayer, the natural world, dogs, bees, and driving across Montana with a peach. They’re rooted in my observation that the world is a thin place, filled with mystery, the divine presence, tears of every kind, and abundant blessing."

Steve Garnaas-Holmes' presence and poetry have long blessed us at Bethany House of Prayer. Come enjoy his rich perspectives on faith, life and spirit.
