I do not recommend a book lightly ever. There is something very sacred to me about sharing resources, as they are so precious on our planet, and in this particular case, although the resources are not water or grain, to my mind, they are water and grain to the soul.

For this reason, I have carefully selected books on poetry, ecology, psychology, philosophy, religion, and even some selections of music artists as I have felt led, and there is also an ever-growing list of websites that you might find helpful. This is far more extensive than the side-bar links.

If you think there is a book, author, artist or website that should be on this page, do not hesitate to contact me. There is only so much I can read and keep up on at one time, and I need your help!

Note that almost all of these books can easily be found on Amazon or requested through a book seller. The list is in no particular order.
