At the end of your life, It seems like a good idea, if you are someone like me, to write a book. And that's what I did.
It began simply as an exploration into instances being utterly engaged with nature to see its impact on consciousness. The experiences range from being mesmerized by bird behavior, to holding my Father's hand as he died, to climbing mountains, to seeing a sweet potato crop through to harvest.
To my surprise, after describing the experiences, unexpected concluding commentary appeared I did not believe myself capable of writing. Where did this come from? Surprising, intriguing themes kept emerging again and again. I was not sure what this was about or where it was going, and the only way I was going to find out was to keep writing.
