"I can still see the small forest of healthy green pines along the Black River in Northern Ireland. The profound emotion that these trees stirred in me is strongly wedded to my memory. All week long, as I walked in the forest, touched the branches, leaned against the trunks of trees, and lay on the soft ground of pine needles, I felt a deep wave of intense emotion while a great peace settled in my soul. I stood silently amid the trees, taking in deep breaths of an air that seemed both earthly and eternal. I hummed. I sang. Each time I walked into that sacred place, I felt as though I never wanted to leave. Something in that dark, earthy, moist, forest felt like "home" to me. Something in that quiet realm spoke to me of an energy dwelling in the land long before I was there, an energy thick with life and vitality...." - Foreword from A Contemporary Celtic Prayer Book
