                Thank you very much for your book 'As it Was' which arrived very
                promptly. You must have had a great deal of satisfaction in writing
                it.
                It is wonderfully descriptive and observational, and covers a wide
                variety of subjects and different parts of the world. It is
                beautifully presented.
                It reminded me a little of Wordsworth's 'Ode to Immortality', but
                there, there is an old man looking back - and he cannot extract the
                same delight from the same things any more. Yours seem to rejoice
                in the memories without regret.
                I enjoyed the book.
                Sincerely

            "Earthy, elemental, edging me into another epoch. "As it Was" is the ancient ebbing &
                flowing of love & longing in poetic heart-beats.
                A coming home journey into ourselves & earth's bounty, of which hope is an essential treasure to be
                discovered."

            Like a sea shanty, our finest folklore, like a Kauri Tree, mighty and strong, powerful
                breaks the dawn, over the forest of Aotearoa, Tane Mahuta, Rongomatane Gods of Rongoa Maori medicine.
                Reminded me of the element of water, the sea God Tangaroa, like a waka, a vessel afloat made of Totora,
                "Well my name is Davy Lowston" the first of its kind, Hello Sailor sings thru my mind: 'Took 100 yrs to
                be found, the ship wreck 1810 ran aground, stranded in paradise, they did seal..' like music to my
                ears... This poetry book tops the winds of tawhirimatea. (In Maori mythology, Tawhirimatea (or Tawhiri)
                is the god of weather, including thunder and lightning, wind, clouds and storms. He is a son of
                Papatuanuku (earth mother) and Ranginui (sky father).
