Greg Mortenson is another profoundly inspiring person. If you're looking for an amazing book (and you haven't already read it), I can't recommend Three Cups of Tea highly enough.
I'm a public librarian who loves farmers' markets, tea, astrology, John Coltrane, James Joyce, Carl Jung, Martha Beck, Liz Gilbert, Alice Hoffman, Thomas Merton, Jim Jarmusch, Anne Lamott... and so much more!
One of my primary interests is how "to walk the mystical path with practical feet." Will you join me?
