The most important thing I can express to you in this box is that my work is for sharing. If you know someone who might benefit from what you've found in these books, hand them your copy. It gives me enormous delight when something I've written resonates with a reader.

MEDITATIVE JOURNEYS is how I'd characterize my three narrative nonfiction works, "No Center Stripe", "A Thousand Flutterings" and "Go Slow, Plan Little, Walk Forever". All examine the details of place, but at the same time go beyond the roads traveled to the realms of the heart.

The three poetry volumes, "Throat Filling with Sand", "Color of Rain" and "Smile on the Road to Musikot", share poems mostly from the first two decades of this century, though I couldn't resist including more current work in Musikot. Fed by dreams, visions and quotidian moments, the poetry ranges from dark to joyful. Take it in small doses - flip to a random page and see what it brings you.

A note ON THE POETRY: I enjoy hearing a poem. There's something about the cadence of voice that enlivens. I'm working on making those available in audio.

So, if you haven't read anything of mine yet, I hope you do. And if you have, the only other thing I'll ask of you is to please take a moment to leave a comment. Positive or negative, it doesn't matter. Other readers find them helpful, and so do I. If you have a question or a comment for me directly, please email me at: dreamer.jm, which is an icloud address - I would love to hear from you.

And, if you are inclined to support the writing life, you can find me on "buymeacoffee" - every little bit helps!

Thank you for your time, for your interest, for your engagement. I am very grateful.

PS The 20th anniversary of the road trip with my father, as chronicled in No Center Stripe, approaches. To mark it I'll be reading the book to my parents, who are in their 80s now, both as a way to remember and as an opportunity to reflect as our lives pass on. I'd like to publish an anniversary edition with their perspectives from further down the road. And the Dreamer, the 1966 Ford F100 with the slide-in camper we used on the journey? Well it still lives too. We're heading down through Mexico and Central America. Maybe on to South America. Let's see :-)
