Collection of John Matthews essays, stories, poems, and other writings. 7.44 inch wide by 9.69 inch tall. In our time when so much emphasis is on the quick and the facile, the glamorous and the trendy, John offers something deep and lasting. He bridges the ancient wisdoms of our past and the possibilities of our future. He calls himself a shaman, but I call him a sage. And as you read the treasures in this book, I believe you will as well.
