In your awareness, create a river

Imagine this river has the perfect temperature,

the perfect depth, the perfect flow.

You stand on the shore and see your river

(The River of Life, p. 53)

In your awareness, create a river

Imagine this river has the perfect temperature,

the perfect depth, the perfect flow.

You stand on the shore and see your river

(The River of Life, p. 53)

When you feel ready take this next stroke

With one paddle you pass through the little waterfall,

the ripple on the river

and you enter a lake, an enormous lake.

(The River of Life, p. 59)

After 500-plus straight days

of farming a half-thousand chickens,

I borrowed a friend’s motorcycle

and got away for five days.

 

I carried along the proof copy

for THE RIVER OF LIFE.

As I made last corrections

I started taking pictures.

 

For three of my five days

I took book pictures, hundreds,

introducing THE RIVER OF LIFE,

to Earth, Water, Sky, creation.

 

Joseph, Oregon.  Eagle Cap

Wilderness.  Lake Couer D’Alene,

Idaho. Wheat and Hay fields.  

Dry Falls, Washington. Home to Chelan.

 

I am just returned from the ride

turned book tour.  An unexpected

blessing.  THE RIVER OF LIFE feels

grounded now – ready for release.
