Wild amethyst morning glories awaken by the sea
an avalanche of white waves
rushes to the shore zebra shadows dance across
the phosphorescent beach
and God's heart beats inside the
transparent chest of a jelly fish
I listen to the ocean sing
cresting jeweled tides crescendo
rise and fall
our footprints and all we think
we are
vanish without a trace
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
