Raven’s Witness a joy!

I enjoyed reading this book recently. It was lyrical almost, in the telling of this man’s journey through life.

The whole unfolding of the lessons from the earth and what they revealed to him about himself, was deeply moving and thought provoking. Passages from it lingered with me for days.
