Steve! Thanks for your review.
The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore was one of the first "new age" books I read, when it was first published in 1990. I was speaking with a friend, and told him, "I was just singing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' to my nephew, and it hit me that life really
is just a dream!" He said, "You're ready for this now" and handed me that book.
Alan is so joyous in his writing, and it was at a workshop of his that I realized what I wanted to do more than anything at that time was mother my then one-year-old son. Accepting that is what led us to unschooling and consensual living, which has, in turn, led to even greater self-inquiry and growth, and depth of life.
Reading that you met him -- and sat on a panel with him! -- is like something coming full circle for me. What a journey!
I'm appreciative of everything you've done, Steve, and it's no surprise to me that you got a standing ovation. I'm excited to see what your next step will be!
