Day After Book Launch (breaking the rules) Haiku
she hears the trees falling
in the forest, we are the trees
we fell in love
Friends…mourners…lovers! I am overwhelmed with love and magic and the power of profound connection. Last night’s launch was a spectacular event involving over forty strong bodies, forty open hearts, forty beautiful minds…and I was witness to a kind of deep love that has imprinted on my body, my heart and my mind – THANK YOU!
I have been using the day to keep feeling…to write in my journal and reflect, to send thank you emails, texts and notes, to let the love seep in and be utterly grateful for all that transpired, transformed, translated at the launch. Thank you everyone for being courageous – for filling out mourning cards and drinking mourning tears! I am sooo filled up I am floating!
Over the coming days, I will be sharing more photos, videos and my first official book review from Literary Titans! I’m so…well, beyond words grateful and excited to have this book in the world and to share it with you!
Extra-special thank you to Mike Stasko and the Windsor Film Society, to Stenlund Video (Cristina and Tyler!), and Michelle the baker for elevating the night to full-moon-sky status! MMUUUUAAAHHH!
