Boyt unearths and describes feelings, passions, prejudices and thoughts I had no idea could be described. One twinkle of recognition and appreciation after another. Really an extraordinary writer.

Quotes by Andy Douglas (?)

“It’s already dark, and cold; my breath hangs in the air as I turn my eyes to the sky. The Milky Way magnifies itself overhead; standing beneath this sparkling vault, the night provokes a sense of awe in me. Space stretches into an immeasurable expanse, my life floating in the gap.”
― Andy Douglas, Redemption Songs: A Year in the Life of a Community Prison Choir

“The beauty of this group, I’m coming to understand, is that it allows all of us—whatever our level of self-understanding, whatever issues we’re struggling with—to listen to each other. Listening is an under-rated art. When we offer our attention to someone else, dropping any preconceived notions we might have, our sense of having to be right, or having to prove anything, drops away. Life is fleeting and fragile. Our friends and loved ones will one day be gone. We’re all struggling to find our way. But it braces me to see how, exercising our vulnerability and courage in this way, walking through our little corner of the world, we can’t help but learn from each other.”
― Andy Douglas, Redemption Songs: A Year in the Life of a Community Prison Choir

Namaskar,

Can you please review Tools to Change the World on Goodreads? Amazon would be great, too! I uploaded it today. I reviewed it myself even though I am co-author. It didn't list me. Will remove my review if you will do one. Thanks! Miirabaii
