A pastor/theologian recently sent me this note ...
Just want to drop you a quick note that I'm being uplifted reading Galapagos! I'm definitely a square box person (:-)) who occasionally spends time enjoying and celebrating God's good creation. And so it's a treat for me to share in your spiritual journey to the Galapagos, inspiring me to spend more time doing so. Once again, too, your work is brimming with fresh theological insight that feeds my square box activities. I've been reading a lot of Naomi Klein and economics lately and seeking to bring concern for the climate-change crisis more fully into my faith and practice. Galapagos has been a true gift to these efforts.
Deep thanks once again for your ongoing work -- not only your writing but also the ways in which the faith and practice behind your writing shines through as an example for all of us.

A special treat for me -- seeing my old friend Michael Kelly Blanchard, a singer-songwriter who added his mastery to each of our sessions. If you're unfamiliar with Michael's music (and related storytelling gifts), check him out here: https://www.michaelkellyblanchard.com/
Buy a bunch of his music - you'll thank me, I'm sure.
Here's one of my favorite songs by Michael:
