Until there is . . .

It is the author’s great hope that this book becomes an educational and family heirloom for generations to come. This is a book that will grow with us as we continue to grow. It may help us to uncover our deepest human potentials–even though there is hardly any human being as a character in it.

Whether your journey into the book will be through bedtime storytelling or in a receptive classroom or in close solitary study, there is much to discover in the world revealed in Sun Wind Silversea.

This is a children’s book that invites all readers and listeners to better appreciate the music in language–something we hear from the time before we are born: the inherent magic in the sounds of words of our mother tongue.

While each of the four stories is different in setting, style, and content, they are united in common reach: to foster an awareness of the interconnectedness of all life; to see the great value in any effort to nurture it, preserve it, and live it.

The book features four interwoven works that follow the tempo of a Sun Processional. Each story is set in a different time and place across the planet we call home. A work of careful design, its purpose is to deepen our attention to the wonders of creation that sustain us and are alive within us.

Here we are!
Breathing in and out in a world that will ever be.”

“Once upon a shine
we arise in solar time.
We spot a spark of Loving Sun
that becomes yours, becomes mine...

How to arrive at such a quality of seeing? How to taste the silence that caused Whitman the pause in his thinking to listen to those words form in his mind and then write them down for us to ponder forever.

“A leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of stars…”

I wish we had more senators and representatives like you, Senator Sanders. Thank you for your commitment to the working class and your service to what I think is the Real America we want ASAP.

This.

I have been voting blue for quite some time. I agree with much of what Senator Fetterman is saying about this issue. It's common sense. You commit crime; you serve hard time for awhile then you're deported. Hard.

I would love to see this on a large screen in a theater in Colchester. At 68, I just don't travel like I used to. I wish the film could make it into more theaters.
