A sequence of reflections, of mindful blessings, on the everyday goings-on around Susan Musgrave's home on the Sangan River, ten miles outside Masset on Haida Gwaii. They were written the year her friend, a local beachcomber, Paul Bower, whose logs were used to build her seven-sided house, died of lung cancer.
Review Excerpts: Jennifer Boire, writing in Vallum: "Knowing the notoriety of one of Canada's well-known poets, I open this tiny book, the size of a prayer book or missal, not knowing what to expect. Right away I begin to savour the Zen-like musing of the first lines ... the poet distils the essence of words the way a good haiku shines a light on a brief moment in time ... the book is rich in wisdom, rich in insight, and well worth the discovery."
Karin Cope, writing in The Dalhousie Review: "Of all the books, this is my favourite, the one that I will keep on my bedside table and reread. Its stark lines are freighted with wisdom deep enough that I've yet to scrape bottom."
