Editorial Reviews

"Through reading Amba Gale's book, Crossing Thresholds, Island Reflections, I now have a powerful practice of reflective journaling. My practice of reflective writing, which immediately follows my meditation, is now a no-miss part of my day. I hold no judgement about what shows up. I'm generally surprised by what speaks through my pen. Today was a perfect example. Off and on I've been thinking about setting up an altar for my morning practice, and lo and behold my muse spoke to me this morning.

I don't need an Altar,

I am the Altar.

As I sit each morning

In silence

across from myself

I linger in the stillness that is present...

I am the Altar

the stillness that waits

patiently for my mind

to let go..."

-Steve Snyder

"I had a moment of reflection, inspired by Amba Gale's poem Buttered Toast from Crossing Thresholds, Island Reflections, which inspired some journal writing. Amba stated it as 'rolling off thy tongue!'

Contribute often

Contribute when there is no calling

Offer yourself when you feel no one is listening

Don't wait, give your soul without permission

Share your brilliance, so others may embrace your you

Contribute when you feel there is no need

Contribute often.

May all our lives be filled with buttered toast, both giving and receiving."

-Jeff Swanson

"...I knew I was writing a book, but it was on the "down low." My expressed identity out in the world centered on my coaching work. I crossed a major threshold, deepening my connection to my writing, respecting its centrality as vital, welcoming the shift-shaping of my life...if I let my writing be honored in the way it needs, would I become unreliable for my coaching career? I discovered that honoring my writing as my core contribution now actually opened up a fresh and enlivening space in my coaching work. I now trust my creative identity to inform my whole life.

-Karla Boyd
