I have a pinecone from Bob Frost's tree collected during thw workshop you led. It's in my car still...a pagan stand-in for a dashboard Mary.

Congratulations on the book launch! I can't wait to receive my copy. I have an altar in my office. It is made with a Zen bench, various crystals and stones, found objects in nature, candles, special photos and images. The outdoors is also an altar, from ground to sky and all the in between. Thank you for this special message - love the poem and hearing you read it.

Sounds like we are kindred spirits! I have little altars everywhere, but you are right--all of nature is an altar if we allow it to be.

I too am rejoicing with you, dear James! What a beautiful reading of a deeply touching poem. I just ordered my copy and can't wait to enter the holiness that I know awaits. Big congratulations to you, beautiful human. I appreciate you so much.

Oh, James, rejoicing with you in the birth of this book, with its open door invitations on the page, inviting readers to give voice to their own poems, to feel their own pulse as part of the ongoing circle of life. Bowing to your teacher self.
