Waves, Wind, and Wisdom : Volume Two

Between Waves and Wanderings

The road isn’t just a path to new places—it’s a journey inward, a teacher that shapes us through quiet moments, shared fires, and lessons learned beneath open skies. In Waves, Wind, and Wisdom: Volume Two, Keith Thorn continues his reflection on travel, connection, and the quiet truths discovered along the shores of Port Isabel, the winds of South Padre Island, and the endless stretches of the open road. Through deeply personal journal entries, this volume captures the essence of what it means to embrace change, face endings, and honor the quiet wisdom found in both solitude and companionship. From the echoes of campfire conversations to the lessons left behind by the tide, these stories are about more than destinations.

They’re about the unspoken rules that guide us, the strength found in stillness, and the people and places that stay with us long after the journey has ended. This book is an invitation to reflect, to pause, and to find meaning in the simple moments that shape who we become. Because some stories don’t end. They evolve, one road at a time.

Waves, Wind, and Wisdom : Volume Three

$1.00

Old Roads, New Lessons is a heartfelt return to the familiar, where old paths meet new perspectives and the roads we thought we knew reveal deeper truths. In this soulful continuation of the series, Keith Thorn revisits places that once shaped him—both literal and emotional landscapes—with the wisdom gained from seasons of loss, healing, love, and rediscovery.

This collection of 53 short essays reflects on the quiet revelations that only time can bring: how silence in a familiar place can sound new, how footsteps on old trails echo with different meaning, and how letting go sometimes happens in the very places we first held on.

With a storyteller’s heart and a traveler’s soul, Keith walks again through the dusty backroads of memory and presence—where campfires burn, conversations linger, and the wind still whispers forgotten lessons. Through it all, he reminds us that growth isn’t always in the new, but often in how we return—with gentler hearts, wiser eyes, and deeper roots.

Whether you are walking beside the Gulf Coast breeze or returning to your own quiet crossroads, this volume invites you to pause, reflect, and carry forward only what matters most.

A Final Poem

A Warrior’s Last Words follows the extraordinary life of Nakano Takeko, a warrior bound by honor, duty, and an unwavering commitment to the samurai way. Born into the Aizu Domain in 1847, Takeko defies societal expectations, mastering the naginata and embracing the teachings of Bushidō under the guidance of her father and the finest samurai sensei.

As the Boshin War erupts, Takeko gathers a battalion of women warriors to defend Aizu against advancing imperial forces. Facing insurmountable odds, she launches a rebellion against the ruthless warlord Matsunaga, leading daring raids and forging alliances that turn her warriors into a symbol of defiance.

Her journey culminates in a final confrontation within a burning fortress, where Takeko faces Matsunaga in a duel that will decide the fate of her people. Even in victory, she understands that the burden of war never fades. As the smoke clears, she reflects on the warriors she has lost, the battles she has won, and the sacrifices that shaped her. The novel closes with a haunting final poem, echoing the legacy of a warrior who fought not for conquest, but for the right to exist on her own terms.

The Security Guard’s Aikido Journey to Mastering Ki

Inspired by the principle: “Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness, and just be happy.”

Through experiences at work, personal growth, and lessons from his dojo (STLKI), he discovers that true strength isn’t about control but about presence, connection, and extending Ki.

By the end, a powerful moment—akin to the classic Aikido subway story—demonstrates how true power lies not in fighting but in harmonizing with the energy of others.
