You surprised me: I wasn’t looking for you.
You made me laugh
at your quick wit and spontaneous humor,
you made me wonder
at your honesty and candor,
you made me marvel
at the way you make me feel.
You surprised me.
You made me comfortable
to be myself when i’m with you,
you made me relax
in your warm embrace,
you made me dream again
when your lips met mine.
You surprised me.
Your understanding
of my family and their needs,
your easy willingness
to pitch in and help with dinner,
your bold confrontations
when i challenge your independence.
You surprised me. I wasn’t looking for you.

About the Book
Castles in the Sky is an insightful journey into the relationships, feelings, and emotions that one may encounter in various times and places in life. Creatively organized into what could be areas or sections of a castle, W. Michael Armbruster expresses those thoughts, feelings, emotions, and dreams that we all wish we could say, have hidden inside, or perhaps wish those who were close to us would share with us.
Written in easy to read language, with sometimes obvious, sometimes mysterious, but almost always heart or mind opening honesty, Michael takes us on an emotional trip through the corridors of life, allowing us to experience the incredible heights of love, lows of loneliness, certainty of God, and the various wonders of the endless facets of human relationships.
Castles in the Sky will almost certainly touch your heart, probably make you laugh or cry with joy, perhaps make you stop and think or pray, and will be a book you will never forget. Open it anywhere, and begin the journey!
