I dedicate this book to the Spirit of Love,
and to my mother, Louise Forest,
who embodies this nourishing Spirit unconditionally.

—Joseph Forest

I dedicate this book to the very kind and loving people throughout my life:
my partner Cam Doré,
son Chris Crawford,
daughter Kavyo Crawford,
long-time co-authors Joseph Forest
and Brenda Davis,
dear neighbours at WindSong Cohousing Community,
and the vegetarians I meet all over the world.
