In her wonderful book on Theodore Roethke, Ann T. Foster quotes Evelyn Underhill, who said that a meditation is a "half-way house between thinking and contemplating." Roethke kept a notebook in which he explored the interior drama of the mind. That's what I hope to do here. --Theresa Williams, author, THE SECRET OF HURRICANES

"I was no better than dust, yet you cannot replace me. . . Take the soft dust in your hand--does it stir: does it sing? Has it lips and a heart? Does it open its eyes to the sun? Does it run, does it dream, does it burn with a secret, or tremble In terror of death? Or ache with tremendous decisions?. . ." --Conrad Aiken
