About meTo paraphrase Rudyard Kipling in "The Man Who Would Be King", I have been many things in my time; Pater Familias, land surveyor, explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, author, poet, field scientist, Internet Professional, teacher, lecturer, assistant professor, and one summer, was actually a forest ranger in Oregon (loved that job).
About my libraryIt is a work in progress. As an undergraduate at the University of Oregon I studied Japanese Literature, and need to add a lot more books from that period of my life.

I give back to the earth what the earth gave,
All to the furrow, none to the grave,
The candle's out, the spirit's vigil spent;
Sight may not follow where the vision went.
I leave you but the sound of many a word
In mocking echoes haply overheard,
I sang to heaven. My exile made me free,
from world to world, from all worlds carried me.
Spared by the furies, for the Fates were kind,
I paced the pillared cloisters of the mind;
All times my present, everywhere my place,
Nor fear, nor hope, nor envy saw my face.
Blow what winds would, the ancient truth was mine,
And friendship mellowed in the flush of wine,
And heavenly laughter, shaking from its wings
Atoms of light and tears for mortal things.
To trembling harmonies of field and cloud,
Of flesh and spirit was my worship vowed.
Let form, let music, let all quickening air
Fulfill in beauty my imperfect prayer.
-- George Santayana

How did you run across my book, The Road From La Cueva? In any case, I'm glad it's in your library. Please let me know what you thought of it, if you wouldn't mind.
