Summer Solstice 2019

0 Comments

Read Now
 
     As the summer solstice approaches, Creativity, Teaching, and Natural Inspiration is just one month published, and Walking Natural Pathways just over one year published.  I hope fervently that enough people will read these, especially CTNI, and help the spirit of the works grow.  There are stories, messages, nuances, and even philosophical moments within these books that need to be shared, need to be enjoyed.
     My wife and I continue to buy and read remarkable books by tremendous new writers and thinkers as we expand our knowledge and horizons.  But now, it is time for others to experience my work.   I am miles away from making any money on either book, even from breaking even.  But if we can all water the seeds of creation here, I believe that the bloom will be savory and scintillating for both author and audience!   How's that for a plea to purchase a book?
     Meanwhile, we continue to make stories happen by spending as much time as possible out there somewhere in the silence, the storm, the wind sky and sun.   Happy Summer Solstice everyone!!

​Mark
