Pinecones is the first volume of a collection of meditations, insights, and illuminations from the personal journals of one of America's most beloved visionaries. Taken from several of her hand-written woods-walking notebooks, it contains a record of insights that came to Mary Summer Rain as lightning-bolt epiphanies, and of contemplative thoughts, verses, and parables. Here is a gentle blend of the message and the messenger, a compendium to savor and share for the ages.
