"Marrow of Light" is a collection of poems, short and long, which come from a deep and daily inner attention to what is being experienced and learned in the years of being over 70. These poems are "given", and like a listener rather than a planner, I write down what arrives, usually in the dark silence of earliest mornings. They are the deep learnings of a rich and deeply appreciated life, an effort to share what I have received with the larger world. There

is as much wisdom in what is between the lines, to be filled by the wordless wisdom that each person carries.
