As a young adult Brother Placidus Henry had several experiences that he interpreted as invitations to get close to God. But like the prodigal son he developed a taste for the world ignored the quiet calls of the Spirit and became lost. Eventually he became a counselor a profession that allowed him to work with lost people and find both himself and poetry. Just Beyond Your Fingers presents a collection of his religious poetry highlighting the moments in life when we search for and meet the universal Spirit.

These verses suggest moments of deep peace and clarity within a time of chaos and confusion especially for modern pilgrims. This collection of poetry explores the search for the Spirit through the human life cycle reflecting an aesthetic of emotion clarity and spontaneity.
