As the author warns, “this is not your mother’s meditation manual!” Author Patrick Murfin has many voices, ranging from the gentle reflective poet to the fierce social activist. This unique collection represents a wide variety of tones, including transcendent observations of nature and clarion calls to justice. Seasoned with stark images of war and good-natured jibes at liberal religious posturing, Murfin’s poetry is infused with the same passion that has driven his lifetime of social activism.

About the Author

We have seen the tumbled temples

half-buried in the sands,

choked with verdant tangles,

sunk in corralled seas--

old truths toppled and forgotten.

We have even seen the wattled huts,

the sweat lodge hogans,

the wheeled yurts,

and the Ice Age caverns

where unwritten worship

raised its knowing voices.

But here we build temples in our hearts.

Side by side we gather.
