'I have been writing this book all my life but am only now aware that this is so. In the past decade or so, all that I had valued as significant has fallen away, forcing me to increasingly seek inner truth. My initial response was to be open (apparently),structuring forms, statements, questings to secure the mind; such refuge was temporal, further searching inevitable. There is a shift in the seeings sequence, Beyond the blood is the fulcrum for this. This particular poem took about ten days to write, a period of burning sweating intensity. After this was finally completed, the rest of this sequence followed, at the pace of about one a day; quite often I did not know where they were coming from. I would begin with an idea or an image and a poem would unfold from that source, sometimes with a clarity I found quite wonderful, as in the Peopling places and Knowledge poems. Hogan-San looked through the manuscript before designing the cover. He said that the poem One was all the book needed! All this has been an experience of life energies flowing through; and I am still blessed with a lightness of being beyond anything in my conscious mind. Long may this be!' (Publication summary)
