It has taken me a few months to acclimate to this book being out in the world in physical form. This adjustment has been remarkably similar to the process of birthing a baby. Growing a physical life inside of one’s body, just as a book develops inside of the writer’s psyche and soul, is one thing. Now my task is to be in relationship with this book, Ancestral Blueprints: Revealing Invisible Truths in America’s Soul, while it is living in the world in visible, concrete form.
Feedback so far has included comments, such as: ” great connections and stimulating ideas”, “your book is amazing”, and “thank you for sharing the importance of balance in all things”.
These comments have been unsolicited, inclining me to trust again that the book’s purpose of promoting compassion and consciousness is working in its own organic wisdom and timing.
