Gentle, perceptive, delightful. Personal encounters with nature to heal and uplift. Margaret is an artist, healer and Intuitive who has been aware of a mystical connection to nature and the healing capacities of nature since childhood. “Nature has been my dearest friend, my stalwart companion, my inspiration and rueful comforter. I drink her beauty and feed from her energy. I polarise my body between the radiant light of her stars and her rich humus depths. She stills me and centres me and reminds me of my vastness, my wholeness, my capacity to heal. She has been my teacher. She has sent me pink mists and blue moons, rainbow clouds and blue-sky rains. She reminds me not to limit my reality; she invites me to enter hers.” These pages carry the energy of loving moments shared with the life force and spirit of the natural world. Composed of lyrical prose, precise descriptive passages, and over fifty evocative photographs, they gently guide you to look for the gems embedded in your own experiences with life and nature. They uplift your heart with their beauty, and engage you with the loving intelligence of nature. “To live interwoven, sourcing energy sparks of knowing and healing, integrating all aspects of self, and flowing in and out of the heart beat of life attuned to the divine, this is the gift nature offers us.” www.margaretwlsn.com

Quetico Park in northwestern Ontario celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2009. Long-recognized as a gem among parks, Quetico contains some of the largest stands of old-growth red and white pine in Canada , as well as a diversity of fascinating lichens, carnivorous plants in specialized habitats. The author presents an insightful look into Quetico's natural history as he examines the adapations that have allowed moose, white-tailed deer, wolves and other mammals to survive. The human history of the park is also explored, beginning with the Objiwa living there when the area was designated as a park, followed by accounts of trappers, loggers, miners, park rangers, and poachers. Beginning with the retreat of the glaciers, the author combines his thorough research into Quetico's long and varied history with the threads of his own extensive involvement with the park. The result is a splendid tribute to a very special place.

The temple within is every aspect to all good and committed sin. With a statue for every voice. And the measure to listen carefully and to make the right choice. The sound of the echo is long and everlasting. This would be the best voice to listen to, but all I hear is the other laughing. They all say listen to me, listen to me. But I have to ignore all to make my own decisions to see. In his debut collection, Natures Nature, Sixto Castillo draws readers into his abstract world of rhythmic poetry and prose.
