Spanning the gamut from love and mystical experiences, including Gandhi, King, the Warriors, Prime Minister Trudeau, the Life of Pi, Mount Rainier, The Fifth Dimension and the Talking Heads, Love Can't Wait inspires. In the spirit of Rumi, Muskie's poems tell a love story exploring wisdom, love, fear, nature, and delight while the influences of presence, such as from Zen, Süsm, Christianity, nonviolence and social justice run through it. In love and in bene¿ting our social world together, Muskie brings us into the heart, for those who are willing to be present, resting in being and issuing from therein. In Praise of Love Can't Wait "Muskie’s poems ... are shining with insight and deep feeling". Mindy Toomay, Co-Author The Writer’s Path: A Guidebook for Your Creative Journey and of a dozen books on food and cooking. "Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed breathing in all these poems. There is so much truth and wisdom in Muskie’s words. Such playful tenderness too, like little lights illuminating from the page." Seed Biggar Songhees Territory, Victoria, BC, Canada "In the spirit of the mystical poets like Rumi, Muskie invites us to explore love... [and] finds deep compassion crucial in our larger social and political engagement". Britton "Daigen" Longtime Zen Student "Muskie’s poems speak in a touching voice. They evoke the joy and sadness, confusion and clear seeing which is our human condition. Most of all they speak to the importance of kindness and compassion".
