On Being Splendid: Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing
Dear friends and gentle people,

Trailing Sky Six Feathers: One Man’s Journey with His Muse
Excerpt from Chapter 3
The landscape they traveled through that night had a rare beauty and stillness. It felt as though time itself had stopped. A portent of things to come, a foreboding rebuke to the crisis they already knew they were to face together. By daybreak they found Eagle Speaker, near to death with fever and very cold underneath the weeping willow tree, whose branches touched…

Impermanence and Extinction
