  • WAYFARING STRANGER
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND

Shadows, echoes, and flickerings. Hints, mumblings, and innuendo.Some of the stanzas are whispers and others are loud, slow dirges. Some we sing alone. Others are call and response. We rarely sing together (al...

  • COMING BACK HOME
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    If you have never been inside of a prison, there are things you will not know about the community there. You may guess at them, but that is not the same. What it feels like. What it sounds like. What goes on there; these all define portions of what it is. These definitions, or parameters of life inside, come to you quite viscerally. You feel them in and through your skin before...

  • IN THE SAME PLACE
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Space and time are not just terms and functions of the bigger/larger objects in our lives, but intricately woven into the cells that make up our spleen and the neurotransmitters that carry our sense of truth and integrity (or some other thing that carries that--which we have not yet figured out how to find or name just yet). The mercurial and hermetic principle that everything ...

  • BATHED IN ABRASION
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    If compromise and disappointment have a home, it is midlife. Here, suffering is like breathing. Longing is like dreaming. Standing midstream in the abrasive forces of life, author N. Thomas Johnson-Medland has learned to wade through the erosion and entropy of failure and incompleteness. And yet, in spite of these massive forces attempting to wear down the very vitality that su...

  • DUENDE
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    "Duende is that place in us where the two halves of our life are conjoined. It is the place where we go down into the self and gather up that opposing force to our immediate nature. It involves the undoing of the 'pretending-everything-is-okay-mechanism' in us and it is an overall waking up to the forces of conflict in life and actually mustering a strength to make abiding choi...

  • FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND / GLINDA G. JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Having grown up in the shadow of the Bomb and having provided supportive care to post-Cold War generations of children and their parents (both in crisis), I have seen a lot of distrust and instability in people--individually and in communities. I have seen how the shadow of impending doom can rewrite a way that people live. This distrust and instability is not a personal issue....

  • WINDOWS AND DOORS
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    The poems and pictures that have been collected here are prompts toward leaning into the places you have been and become. Clearly, every doorway you have crossed over and every window you have gazed yourself through have become woven into the fabric of the "you" that is now holding this place as here and now. The "you" that is here has moved through immense passages. They are a...

  • DANSE MACABRE
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Apparently, in 1338 and well into 1339, Death showed up for a grand performance at a little village of Nestorian Christians. The village was known as Issyk-Kul; it lay south of Lake Balkhash, Russia. The cemetery headstones made clear a major work of the macabre had taken place in that short year. Three of the stones actually told us that the THE PLAGUE killed the people buried...

  • FEED MY SHEEP; LEAD MY SHEEP
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    There are a lot of books about leadership out there. I wanted to stir the pot and make some suggestions that I have not heard yet.Leadership is not about sticking qualities all over yourself, like dozens of "yellow sticky notes": "Today I will learn time management. Tomorrow I will develop integrity." Mere information is not enough to change us. Data may lead to transformation,...

  • FROM THE BELLY OF THE WHALE
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Men have been spit up onto shore by whales and great fish since the beginning of time. This has been going on for forever; perhaps, even longer than forever. This may be true.It may also be true that men have spit whales and great fish up onto shore since the beginning of time. This has also been going on or forever; perhaps, even longer than forever.

  • ENTERING THE STREAM
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    The notion and phrase of "entering the stream" has long been an image for merger and union. Most often it is meant to sum up the idea of union with the Divine Principle or God. Less often, yet still common, it is used to image the union of ideas, bodies, and movements.The sense that one thing folds into or flows into another and gets lost is still a major underpinning toward th...

  • CAIRN-SPACE
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Cairns have decorated the landscapes of cultures throughout time. Piles of stone-one stone placed on top of another-are set in place all over the earth to recall battles, identify burial sites, mark trails, and spur hearts and minds to remember sacred, noble, and critical events. They are landmarks. They are sacramental presences in space and time. Our lives are littered with m...

  • BRIDGES, PATHS, AND WATERS; DIRT, SKY, AND MOUNTAINS
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    When we stand in the presence of the natural world of creation, something very powerful occurs. Our heart senses a raw and vital connection between ourselves and the handiwork of God revealed in the trees and rivers. Our eye catches some small detail and we are opened up to union with the world around us and to the Creator of that world. It does not take a magnificent vista; it...

  • RIVER BENDING
    N. THOMAS JOHNSON-MEDLAND
    Rivers are not only about themselves and the way they curve and cut across landscapes and time, but about an overall geology of the soul that goes on in each life--all life. Carrying things into our lives and away from our lives is just one of the mysteries of rivers and the tributaries that build them. These poems of life and living in the precincts of the Delaware River and h...
