Spanning the gamut from love and mystical experiences, including Gandhi, King, the Warriors, Prime Minister Trudeau, the Life of Pi, Mount Rainier, The Fifth Dimension and the Talking Heads, Love Can't Wait inspires.

In the spirit of Rumi, Muskie's poems tell a love story exploring wisdom, love, fear, nature, and delight while the influences of presence, such as from Zen, Sufism, Christianity, nonviolence and social justice run through it. In love and in benefiting our social world together, Muskie brings us into the heart, for those who are willing to be present, resting in being and issuing from therein.

"In the spirit of the mystical poets like Rumi, Muskie invites us to explore love... and] finds deep compassion crucial in our larger social and political engagement."

"Muskie's poems speak in a touching voice. They evoke the joy and sadness, confusion and clear seeing which is our human condition. Most of all they speak to the importance of kindness and compassion."
