Walking Down My Shadows Volumes 1 & 2

Cursorial hunters such as humans and the wolves with which we early became partners traditionally hunt by running or walking down their prey. This involves following in dogged pursuit until the quarry is exhausted and can be captured. Thus the title of this book. In it, I am walking down my shadows in an attempt to gain mastery over them. In other ways, I know I spent much of my life following shadows instead of forging ahead into the light, so it also represents a failing or weakness in my life’s behavior. Perhaps others may gain wisdom through reading my words without having to do the same thing for three score years to see it. Insightful, ancient and modern, these poems reveal a timeless depth of spirit and emotion. From the first page to the last, you will be drawn into a journey of love, sorrow, laughter and beauty as this master craftsperson weaves her magic web of words upon the pages of this simple but beautifully presented book.
