If You Are Looking for a Place to Rest

If you seek rest,
the mountain waits in silence.
The pines breathe their ancient song,
a silent music that deepens as you draw near.

Beneath their shade, a hermit studies
The Tao, pages worn by time and wind.
The years hide the path behind him —
Long ago he forgot the way back.

High on the summit, the horizon opens,
Mountains without end in every direction.
The moon gazes down,
On its own reflection in a still pond.
The night is cold at the edge of silence,
the mountain listens to my song of peace.
- Heron Dance interpretation of Han Shan’s (Cold Mountain’s) song of peace.

Early This Morning The Kindle Version of Surviving Cancer Launched!

It contains everything I’m currently aware of in terms of emerging medical science for cancer treatment.

A major objective of this book is to pressure hospitals, physicians and insurers to make these new life-saving technologies available to those who would benefit most from them. If you order the book, it would help achieve that objective if you would leave a review. You can order the Kindle version of the book, and leave a review, here:

The print version, and the Audible version, will be available on that page in a few days. You can read more about the book on the Emerging Cures website here.

Liquidation Sale of Art

The sale was a tremendous success with approximately fifty originals and prints sold. (Deeply appreciated, by the way!) By the end of the day today, I’ll have the orders all organized for shipment.

There are still a few originals left like today’s Moonlight Walk and Grizzly Looking. They are $120 each including shipping.

Heron Dance is moving to Asheville, NC in a month and I was there for three days late last week. Between that and the launch of the new book, it has taken a little longer to get the sold paintings and prints shipped, but I’ll focus on it now until all orders are out the door.

The only art that is excluded from this liquidation sale are a few “Zen Drawings and Paintings” which will be featured in an upcoming book.

Signed, Limited Edition Prints

With everything else going on, I never did get around to adjusting the pricing of the prints on the Heron Dance website to reflect the liquidation sale pricing.

The prints on hand in the Heron Dance gallery are all signed, numbered limited-editions of Heron Dance bestsellers. If you are willing to trust my judgment, I’ll send you three of those prints for $100, or ten for $200. If you have a preference (hawks and owls for instance, or herons and egrets, or Lake Superior abstracts from my paddling days there) email me (rod@herondance.org) after you order and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

Rather than recycle any remaining, I’ll divide those prints up among the person or persons who order ten for $200. So if you order ten, you’ll get at least ten and maybe twenty, but no more than one of any particular print. They make great Christmas presents! All are signed and numbered.

All prices include shipping.

Order three for $100 here.

Order ten for $200 here.

And thanks!
