Our new book, Profound Living: Essays, Images, and Poetry is now published. It features essays published here on the Profound Living site in 2018 by yours truly, Kelly Anderson, Davin Carr-Chellman, and Vincent J Fortunato; and beautiful images by Vincent, Antonia Cardella, and Marc Christensen, most of which were seen right here at Profound Living.

The cover was designed by the incomparable Heather Barrett, who designs and supports Profound Living here.

It was such a pleasure to work with these folks who are not only talented, but who also live profound lives and care about important matters in our world.

All proceeds from this book will go to non-profit groups that support the research and practice of profound learning, leading, and practice.

I have a feeling this book would make a fabulous present! It's available at Amazon in paperback or Kindle.

Please share this with anyone or groups who might find this helpful.

Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).
