This book is possible only because of the friends and allies who hold the field I write from and remind me I am not crazy. Among them are Bayo Akomolafe, Ben Phelan, Brad Blanton, Camila Moreno, David Abram, Frank Phoenix, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Gigi Coyle, Ian MacKenzie, Jodie Evans, Joshua Ramey, Kelly Brogan, Laurie Young, Lissa Rankin, Lynn Murphy, Manish Jain, Marie Goodwin, Matthew Monihan, Michael Lerner, Miki Kashtan, Orland Bishop, Pat McCabe, Polly Higgins, Satish Kumar, and so many more, some of them very dear. I also would like to give thanks to the near-strangers who shower me with generosity and encouragement; to the patrons who supported me financially during the years writing this book; and most especially to my wife, Stella, for her loyalty to my best self; to my parents, for fifty years of love; to my children, for showing me the future; and to my first wife, Patsy, for showing me the power of life to heal.
