Stories, reflections, and quotations for seekers who continue to grow
“A brilliant mixture of story, philosophy, humor and wisdom, this book reminds us that—if we are open to story, dreams, imagination, and myth—we can open doors within our soul.”
—Jay O’Callahan, author, storyteller, and NPR commentator “Jim May has been inspiring students and colleagues (including myself) for almost four decades; this book will inspire a new generation to set out on their own journeys of discovery and invention. —Ed Stivender, storyteller, educator, and author “Jim May is a soft-spoken leader. He creates a safe place for examining the deep stories inside ourselves.” —David Holt, Grammy Award-winning musician and host of public radio’s Riverwalk “The way a farmer hoes: attuned to proper season, just the right depth, choosing ready earth, seeding discerningly; that’s how Jim May writes.” —Megan Wells, storyteller and author “In our Hawaiian language, ‘'Ike pono’ can mean to see clearly, justly, truthfully, precisely. While no single author can answer all the queries of life, Jim May provides a lens for the reader to search for truth in the wisdom of story.” —Nyla Fujii-Babb, Native Hawaiian Storyteller “Jim May links the mythic and the earthly together with a rich blend of personal yet universal insights, philosophy, humor, and an abundance of engaging narratives. It's a book that asks to be read over and over again.” —Doug Elliott, storyteller, author, and Appalachian naturalist
