ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you to the editors, designers and staff at North Light Books who have made this
into the beautiful final product it is, including Jamie Markle, Mark Griffin, Mona
Michael, Guy Kelly and Amanda Metcalf. A special thanks to Vanessa Lyman who has
been the foreman on the job, keeping it all together.
A special thanks also to the contributing artists. As I have said in my introduction,
you have been great! You have been so willing to share and revise and send me more.
I honestly count a number of you as friends, though the finite limits of space and time
restrict the expression of that friendship. I long, as many of you do, for the fullness of
the beauty we appreciate on this earth to come to fruition. For now, we can only
imitate the wonder we see; one day we shall truly enter into it.
