For my soul mate, Daniel, whose lake of calm beckoned me

Acknowledgments

It is a thrill beyond words to have written this book. I was fortunate to have had many helpful cooks in the kitchen, and Im grateful to each of them for their role in bringing this recipe to life.

My literary agent, John Willig, was like a beacon of light with his immediate enthusiastic support of this project. Every interaction with John, from my first e-mail to my most recent conversation, has been a delight. He brings his optimism and insightful guidance to every encounter. I feel especially fortunate to have John on my side.

Reuniting with my editor, Denise Silvestro, has been a tremendous blessing. She brought Transcending Loss to life over fifteen years ago, and likewise, she shepherded this book with her customary care, keen eye, and thoughtful touch. I will always be grateful to Denise for how she helped to shape and encourage my voice in the world.

I extend a heartfelt thanks to all the folks at Berkley Books, those Ive met and those I haventfrom the mail-room intern to the president, from the copyeditor to the cover designerall of us working together to make this book a reality.

Over the years, there were many guides whose writings, workshops, and websites added to my personal compost of ideas. Many of these people will never know how much they influenced me, but I send them my gratitude. Also, I am grateful to my clients for their fearless desire to grow and their willingness to share their journeys with me. My work is both a sacred calling and a profound privilege.

I am especially appreciative of both Women Supporting Women in Exeter, New Hampshire, and also to Exeter Health Resources for being early supporters of my Shortcuts and offering me a forum for developing my materials.

To the readers of the manuscript, I offer special thanks for their insightful feedback: Elliott Baker, Judith Bush, Glenn Corey, Peyton Lewis, Nagabodi, Saddhamala, Nancy Shappell, and Nancy Webb.

Aryaloka Buddhist Center, a place of deep serenity and peacefulness, offered me a place of true respite and repose. There I have been and continue to be supported and guided on my journey to access inner peace. Likewise, Star Island and Emery House have been spiritual homes for over a decade, repeatedly bringing me back to my essence.

My dear soul sister, Martha Nossiff, is ever in my heart as a fellow pilgrim striving to live from a place of peace. She has been with me through every high and every low over the past fourteen years. Her devotion and blessed friendship know no bounds.

I am indebted to my dear parents, Peyton Lewis and William Davis, for giving me the gift of life.

And to my children and stepchildrenElizabeth, Channing, Victoria, Setse, and InleI express gratitude for their love and their amazing presence in my life. They are tremendous teachers for me on my path of inner peace.

To my husband, Daniel, there are no words to adequately convey my gratitude. Without him, this book simply would not exist. Not only has he been my first reader, my patient editor, and overall champion, he has also been my teacher, student, guide, and companion on the path. His transformative love has opened me to a whole new level of living.

Finally, with humility, I express my deepest gratitude to my Muse, the great Universal Spirit that blows through me. I continue to be amazed at the music that comes forth, knowing that I am but the instrument. May this melody inspire you as much as it has inspired me.

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
