"The Rebirth of Mother Earth"
"The Rebirth of Mother Earth"
begins in our own backyard.
I got to go vertical, not horizontal....
I need to crack through,
break through...settle into
the new foundation the earth
is asking for.

I had the loveliest experience last night
sitting in a circle where others and I were
reading from my book
"The Rebirth of Mother Earth."
I was just talking to Toby this morning.
The poems felt like Scrolls.
They could be put out as the DeepWater Scrolls.
I once sold numbers of copies of this book.
If I had nothing else to do,
this could be a wonderous thing to do on a day
like today.
to sit in circle and record these....
Even to make a Youtube.
I am sorry I did not record the session we did last
night. Josiah played, and another man.
It was very healing.
There is some very timely material in this book.
It could be as powerful as anything that
the world needs right now.

It is very sensitively done, The photographs are terrific. I wish you the best in finding a Publisher

I also hope the video my class did onyou will help with your future.
