These haiku and petites pensées were written during a one-year period from July 2009 to August 2010. I traveled to Les Diablerets, Switzerland in July 2009 to meet Einar Moos for the first time. We fell in love and traveled to Lausanne, Switzerland where he lived for the next year and where I visited him every 3 months during short vacations from my job in the U.S. In September 2010, we were married and lived in California, returning to Europe in 2013. We traveled all over Europe together--Germany, Switzerland, Paris, Lyon, Sardinia, Genoa, the Cinque Terre, and finally to the Berry region of France. Einar passed away at his Berrichone farmhouse in July 2016. Ces haïku et petites pensées ont été écrits pendant une période d'un an, de juillet 2009 à août 2010. Je me suis rendu aux Diablerets, en Suisse, en juillet 2009 pour rencontrer Einar Moos pour la première fois. Nous sommes tombés amoureux et avons voyagé à Lausanne, Suisse où il a vécu l'année suivante et où je lui rendais visite tous les 3 mois pendant mes courtes vacances aux Etats-Unis. En septembre 2010, nous étions mariés et vivions en Californie, revenant en Europe 2013. Nous avons parcouru toute l'Europe ensemble - l'Allemagne, la Suisse, Paris, Lyon, la Sardaigne, Gênes, les Cinques Terres, et enfin la région de Berry en France. Einar est décédé dans sa ferme berrichone en juillet 2016.

Following her collections of poems about Alaska and Arizona and her "Celtic Epic," Rebecca Morrison now brings us her reflections on nature in Northern California. Spanning a period of 20 years, these poems range west from the Pacific Ocean to the Eastern Sierra, from Mount Shasta and Medicine Lake on the northern California border, south to Mount Diablo rising up in the middle of the 600-mile long great California Central Valley. Juxtaposed against a handful of poems about other stunning landscapes such as the Serengeti and the Alps, Morrison gives us an insider's tour of this country that has inspired generations of nature lovers such as Mark Twain, John Muir, Jack London, Ansel Adams, and Gary Snyder.

Sheldon is a turtle who lives in the deep blue sea and wiggles and jiggles every night to get himself ready for bed. One evening, he asks his parents the age-old question: Where do babies come from? The story the parents tell is an underwater search for the perfect egg--to make a turtle just like Sheldon. The Search for the Magical Egg is a beautifully illustrated book for parents to read to children ages 5 to 7, and it's designed to help children who were conceived through IVF understand how they were born and how deeply they are loved.
