MICHELLE GOERING, a writer and musician with
a background in publishing and editing, is passionate
about the power of words to connect and transform. A
city dweller and Bahá’í for nearly four decades, she grew
up in a Mennonite community on a Kansas farm. She
lives in San Diego with her family and plays way too
many word games every morning.

The bird looked at me. I looked at the bird.
Thirteen whimsical conversations between
the author and a series of birds explore the heart‘s
struggles to learn. Eighteen poems address everything from
biscuits as therapy to the misuse of the moon to the gifts of
letting go.
And thirty-five short essays reflect on the
author’s Mennonite childhood, the process
of becoming an orphan at 57, befriending
the neighborhood trees, and keeping a marriage
strong through a nightly walk.
