| Alicia I was the "riverfalls@webtv" that reviewed your book in Amazon, January of '99. Upon recent further inspection I was delighted to see the book HAD, in fact, been reissued. Reading your interview I was not terribly surprised how "Walden" was one of your primary influences. I touched upon that in the review - your book was Walden, infinitely more subjective. It's great to know we can use this incredible technology in the advancement of the cohesive qualitites of our generation - a generation that appeared "anti-tech". I'm reminded of Robert Pirsig's, "If the Buddha exists in the petals of the lotus flower, so, too, He exists in the hub of the spokes of a motorcycle wheel". Great to know you are there! Sincerely, Steve | ||||||||

| Dear Alicia, This is Bertha writing to you. I was the woman with the almost 30 year old copy of "Living on the Earth" at Antigone's Friday night. What a wonderful, surprising and enriching experience! I treasure your personal note in my dear old friend of a book, which has had many travels itself. Somehow this book has touched me and molded me in ways no other book has done. To meet you was an inspiration to continue down the road of following the adventure of life through our hearts. Thank you again. My whole family is enjoying your CD. We sat cuddled up together yesterday during a rare rainy spell, listening and feeling really cozy and happy. What a delight your songs are! I'm really interested in your Hawaii CD. I fulfilled a life's dream this year, my 50th as of May 18th, by visting Kaui. I can't describe how wonderful and thrilling it was. To find out you have such a connection to Hawaii is just too much of a coincidence. I'll keep in touch through your website. Happy and wonderful travels. Love, Bertha |

| Hi Alicia, Great to meet you and to hear your stories and music at the Atalanta. Here is the web address to Bisbee's repertory theatre: http://bisbeenet.com/therep Hope you can stop by and visit us on your tour. By the way, I remember you said to be on the lookout for the evil book cover. Well, I looked up your book on Barnes and Noble's online bookstore and there it was! Here is their address: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ Peace and love, Dave Day |

I am recharged and getting ready for my next artshow next Saturday. What wonderful energy you have!! Cheryl said that she is practicing being a "ghostie". She has only been able to disappear for short periods of time!! She'll get the hang of it, I'm sure! Enjoy the rest of your beautiful journey!! May you feel the magic everywhere you go!!

| Triptych for Marty Jezer at 60 1. Today in the ex-woodshed I found the milk pail, our sturdiest purchase after the acreage- (the hardtop we called soil could kill a Ford), and that silver souvenir of our kick-the-bucket commune hadn't aged a day since Agway, unlike the flock of cows, the wide mouth cat and Thou in the wilderness of Now, and us. 2. Kitchen riff I remember: your breakfast, drawn and quartered from dinner- a wedge of spaghetti, limp stir fry, a pork chop with a name, and two or three free-range born-again eggs. Fuel for thought between chapters of hoed corn. 3. At the top of our hill, at the height of stupidity, we drew a four hand, two-man saw through winter wood. At twenty below our jokes cracked overhead. The ha ha's ricocheted, and night was a carbon copy perforated with our mirth. Verandah Porche Guilford, Vermont |
| talking to God i grew up in a small town along the apalachian blue ridge mountains my Grandfather was a minister in one of the town's churches i grew up with the impression in the innocence of my childhood that because he was a minister in the church,. somehow he was able to talk to God i smile upon remembering times had as a young boy with my Grandfather which seemed to be not so much about his ability to talk to God but his ability to talk to me and to the day he died when i was thirteen, he only ever talked to me and somehow God was never a part of the picture through many years to this day (thirty years later) i have met complete strangers who have told me stories of how my Grandfather visited them or someone they knew in the hospital and sat and talked with them as it seems it was my Grandfather's favorite thing to do to walk hospital halls and visit the sick and the hospitalized and whether he knew them or not, just simply talk and chat and told of how this brought them comfort and dissolved the pain and even doing this long into retirement later on i learned the truth as an adult that one merely can declare oneself a minister of God and it does not necessarily mean you can talk to God because you are a minister or a priest but now, with each person i meet to this day who tells me of how my Grandfather brought comfort in his visits and how he was a wonderful and loving and kind person, i know my Grandfather was talking to God Chief

| Aloha! When I was finishing up the backs of my paintings today- I write "secret" messages on the backs- I thought about David Santo and how he used to write the messages inside of the guitars he made. Try to remember to ask him about that and see if there is one inside of yours. What an incredible day today...........ahh! Life is so wonderful, I know you agree. Wishing you great peace. Love, Tracy |
| Dear Road woman walking on cloud, Yes the rest may be fun. I have been given permission and sounds like you have too. I am at Hookena these days pretending to be homeless and living in a tent and enjoying the view. I have been studying the new translation of the I ching that was put together by a Taoist master living in Maui. Im sooo glad you fell in love with Bisbee. It IS a special place! I will try to getr to see you the next time you are 'round these parts. I have no idea when or where I will be except most likely somewhere on the big Island....Heading up to Kapuna and Kohala next to have a look see and have a feeling that therre is a little somewhere up there for me to rest the bones... For now I rest the bones with in the flesh and call that home! May your water catchment always be full!love C the Dingo....XO |
