To Carlie–With Love–From Grandad
Personal reflections on an EarthSchool journey
by Edward J. Kesgen
Available in softcover and downloadable eBook versions.
More than simply a memoir handed down from grandfather to granddaughter, To Carlie–With Love–From Grandad is a chronicle of a life fully experienced—a series of intertwined vignettes that reveal elements of magic and wonderment of this fascinating dance we know as the human experience.
The book is a reminder that through all the challenges and disappointments of life, it is absolutely impossible for you to be kicked out of the universe—because there is no place where Spirit leaves off and humankind begins.
✶ What others have said about To Carlie—With Love—From Grandad . . .
"Having these memories for your granddaughter, and future generations after that, is priceless. And the hopes and dreams you have for her are the same every parent has for her or his own children (and grandchildren); I find myself nodding my head and tearing up quite often while reading these passages thinking of my own two children."
Lara Darling—Champaign, IL
"It is such an amazing work of art and soul!! You have such a wonderful way of spinning a story. It is matched only by your wonderfully eclectic/open view of the world. I continue to count myself as fortunate to be walking the same path as yours."
Jonathan A. Jones—Balsam, NC
"I have been deeply touched by your book, especially starting with A Nourishing Nest. Oh, if only I had grown up in such a loving environment. The drum majors in my life are a short list, but I am happy to say that along with my grandparents and my loving wife, you are my drum major."
Robert A. Harley—Fort Myers, FL
"The book is wonderful! I am enjoying it immensely and find myself turning to it for a course correction whenever I wander too close to the edge. It's a desktop fixture, much like a trusty old dictionary."
Anthony Piscetta—Cape Coral, FL
