DeDiCatiOn
ne day during the process of writing this book, I hit a stumbling
block in the creative process and the allocation of my time. There
were so many important things in my life, including a very ill friend,
tugging at me for time and attention. I sent out a petition to the energy
field: “I must tend to those in need of healing and to those I love and
care for. If you, the energy field, want this book written, can you send
me some help with finishing this manuscript?”
A few days later, my mother called me and said, “I was thinking
of coming out to visit for almost six weeks now. Would that be OK?”
OK? Yes! Here was the help!
My mother is my friend, my confidant, and also an editor. She
helped me focus and assisted with the loving caretaking of my family
during this journey. Her help arrived, and here is this book—from
me, and my mother, to you.
I gratefully dedicate this book to my mother, Ernestine Marie
Sadotti Smith.
I also dedicate this book to the fourteenth-century poetess Lalla
and to the skilled and soulful poet Coleman Barks. Lalla’s simple and
profound poetry speaks to the awakened field of energy and to the
mystery of life. Mr. Barks devotedly translated Lalla’s poetry and
brought it into my life through a book of her poems called
Naked Song.
