In December, 2020, Elizabeth, my wife of 50 years, passed away after struggling for two years with pancreatic cancer and stroke. During this time, the pandemic was raging, and America was struggling to salvage its very identity and survival.A time of deep transformation. What's the way forward?In response to all this, I wrote a book - "Capricorn & Cancer" - to confront the heart of death itself - not only of my wife's passing, but of an America, fractured and dying - and the need here in America for a deep transformation in the way we view our own lives, our relationship with the universe around us, and to life and death itself."Traveling to a New America" was my eleventh book prior to "Capricorn & Cancer" - a collection of 74 articles, poems, blog pieces, historical portraits, and interviews with people I met randomly on the street, all articulating anew the power and greatness of ordinary citizens, and the original, forever dream of America. Now I've combined the two books into one to capture, in greater depth, a way forward out of the dark times we are now experiencing. We are at a deep turning point in history. I once wrote:"A new spiritual civilization, beyond even age-old dreams, beyond anything we have yet imagined, is struggling to be born. It is here and now. It grows from the wreckage of despair, of lost hope, of pollution, greed, injustice, hatred and war. It is the compassionate heart of the universe itself coming to fruition and bloom."You and I are at the heart of this change.Elizabeth and I are traveling together now, reaching out to people all across the country, to spark a great vision and belief in the innate power and potential of every person's life, and in the eternal and still unfulfilled dream of America.
