In My Nature — A New Collection of Poems

Happy to share — this small collection of poems is now available — In My Nature. It’s meant as a little pocket book, easy to carry around. It’s also meant to encourage the simple of noticing and learning from things right before us. It’s also meant to encourage a depth of life practice that is forever nuancing meaning and relationship. Big things in small things — it’s an artistry and a disciplined way of living.

An excerpt from the book…

“Nature teaches. It teaches both the inner essence that we wish to remember of ourselves, and, the outer essence that we create among humans nearby. Nature teaches and reminds us of our inherent integration with all of life. Nature points us to wonder of things big and small. It invites deep living. It invites departures from, and lettings go. It invites us to remember ourselves whole through what often the most simple of experiences and encounters.”

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature
is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
