Excerpt from the foreword, by Michael McIntosh

One of the delights of reading is discovering a voice that speaks with grace and intelligence and economy and charm, a voice that stirs your mind, tickles your sense of humor, and lifts your spirit. Chad Mason's is one of those.

"What is it," Mason wonders, "that's so captivating about a dog standing still?" Gene Hill would wish he'd written that. So do I. This book is full of such images. You'll find them and recognize them as what they represent -- one of us, sharing what he's heard out where what you hear is true and good.

New voices are enchanting, especially voices that speak the language of the wind.
