Deep book about being in the presence of now and how things are evolving on earth. Funny enough, this was written 20 years ago.. and man is the message still on point for humanity! Reading it in our spiritual book club this Oct/Nov 2026!

I read this book over 15 years back but still have a copy with an older cover. I may come back to it again as I love the writer and power of the present moment is really all we have. We are always living in this one present Now.
