Congrats on the new book!

I have had similar experiences, but the one that would like to be told is when I was sitting atop Mt. Shasta.

I was meditating, while sitting with crossed legs and eyes closed atop the rotting remains of a redwood stump. Feeling as one with the stump, growing taller, bees began to land on me, piercing my blisters from the sun. Drinking and thanking me for being their friend.
