The Mystic Junkyard 
Imagine that all you see, even the seemingly inanimate such as the chair you are sitting in, has a consciousness and a life force with thoughts, feelings and stories just like you and I.
Ram Dass meets Harry Potter in The Mystic Junkyard, a story about a vengeful junkyard stove—bitter about being tossed out—who reluctantly embarks on a journey towards compassion with help from a mystical village of sparkers—creatures whose form has become half-animal, half-furniture.
As it is for most of us, her path is quite bumpy, I dare say grueling at times; one made more complex through her own stubbornness and unwillingness to forgive the chef who tossed her. Who knows if our potbelly would have behaved any differently had she had the power to peek into her future and see the devious entity looming there, waiting to wreak havoc by transforming her into a cast iron dragon—a beast with a thirst for destruction.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t see into the future, but just maybe, with the help of the sparkers, this cantankerous potbelly stove can reign victorious over her demons by discovering the power that burns brightly within each of us and create a life far more inspired that the circumstances she finds herself in.
