“Campfire Companions” poem:
“What a longing they touched in me! Ah,
would that I could lose myself in the wilderness,
become a ghost of smoke and shadow,
moving so subtly through the lucid moonlight
that all my edges wore away.”
― Elizabeth Barrette, From Nature's Patient Hands

“A Tangible Reminder”:
“Underfoot rustling unsilent leaves
Crackle electric ecstasy
Spice the autumn air,
A tangible reminder
That death can be a glory.”

Soul on FireHello Elizabeth! :)
Just wanted to let you know that I am very much enjoying "From Nature's Patient Hands" and will write a good review for it as well. :) I love it! <3 As I was reading it last night, it reminded me of the book "Soul On Fire: A Transformational Journey From Priest to Shaman" by Peter Calhoun. I think this book will really resonate with you and I recommend it very warmly. <3
All the best,
Grace
