These poems may have special appeal to those who recognize themselves to be on a spirit journey. These "blue plums" are to be taken slowly, and not necessarily chronologically. One may choose a more intuitive or spontaneous approach and glance through the Table of Contents and be lured by an inviting title. In either case, for those curious as to what a spirit journey encompasses, the answer is reflected within this beautiful collection of intraspective poetry.
