This book was floated up on sweet wings of love. My deep thanks to Sunta Oannes and Sunshine Espirit for providing the cradle in which so many of these words were written, to Tom and Eileen for my garret in Nantucket, to my blessed sister, Chris, for first bringing these words to the page, and to my dear ones at Conari Press: my editor, Mary Jane Ryan, for patience, humor, and steadfastness in love; to Karen “Grace” Bouris, for aesthetic wisdom and genteel persistence; to Emily Miles for sensitivity and graciousness; to Jennifer for laughter; to Claudia, for kindness; to David for tenacity; and to Will Glennon, for real listening.
With great love
for
Harold Yvan Le Brock whose loving heart and exquisite soul are joy, truth, and beauty embodied
The food of the heart is love; the true condition of the soul is union.
