Renaissance — Mark Miller

One definition of renaissance is renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival. The stories gathered here are expressions of that idea. Written at different times, for different reasons, they all share the same theme. The idea of renewal is an important part of life. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves. Sometimes, we are not aware of it and we receive a message from an unexpected place. Sometimes, the inspiration comes from a long forgotten memory. Whatever the case, we are given an opportunity that can easily slip by in a momentary encounter or even a dream.
