ENDORSEMENTS:
“I am quite happy and proud to recommend to you the wisdom and the beauty you will find in this book! Our world has need of this.”
—RICHARD ROHR
Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, NM
“A powerful journey of inspiration, love, care, and connection with the living waters of our communities—encouraging us to reflect on how we care for them and inspiring us to rise up against the harms and challenges they face from human interaction. Thomas’s poems are challenging, uplifting, and heartwarming, and remind us that our streams and rivers are part of our community, to be respected and cared for.”
—Maya van Rossum, author of The Green Amendment
“Men are rediscovering poetry if it speaks to their honest experience, people are rediscovering poetry when it is accessible and evocative. Well, here it is—for your discovery and enlightenment!”
—Richard Rohr, OFM author of From Wild Man to Wise Man and Adam’s Return
“In River Bending, we are beckoned to join a journey of pools, currents, rapids, and switchbacks—an adventure in language worthy of the closest read and the joyous noise Johnson-Medland makes.”
—Thomas Lynch, author of Bone Rosary
“We live our lives, day to day, thinking tens of thousands of thoughts. And as Deepak Chopra, the renown Hindu philosopher, so brilliantly stated, we are not merely a collection of thoughts, we are the thinker of those thoughts. It’s the space in between those thoughts where you and I, as individuals, dwell . . .
It is my sincere hope for you that, as a searcher for both the meaning in and meaning of life, you will continue to read what you now hold in your hands. It is an exceptional book written by an exceptional person. Tom’s gift of writing both insightful prose as well as eloquent poetry will transform you and take you to a place very few in life will ever arrive: face to face with yourself and your God.”
—GLENN WALSH, Adjunct Professor of Humanities, Temple University
“[An] utterly creative spirit is best accessed through creativity itself, through art, symbol, and poetry. God is not prosaic or predictable . . . Open this book and be re-created yourself.”
— Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
