From the foreword: "It is an ongoing wonder when a writer is able
to infuse her prose with such poetic quality and tenderness that
each piece becomes a poem in itself. Suzanne Rhodes has this
magical facility of seeing to the heart of things . . . To retain
the precision of the moment, one has to be there to experience it.
Suzanne is a friend who takes my hand and says "Look " or "Listen "
or just "Stay here with me while the meaning of this beauty
unfolds." It's in that particularity and specificity of Rhodes'
seeing and speaking that a comparison with Mary Oliver's writing
becomes consistent in my mind. Both have eyes wide open for beauty
and the significance of earthy things like shorelines and sedges,
shells and what Suzanne calls "the slow simmer of time." Her
subjects include things like the miracle of the human hand, the
tang of a marinade, how improvisational prayer is, a horse-shoe
crab, or the weight of wetness on a morning tent. And much, much
more-each sample a small slice of a life lived well, in which we
are invited to join, powerfully moved, weeping or rejoicing with
the writer." -Luci Shaw
