Preview Clea Danaan's Zen Chickens Online

My newest book, Zen and the Art of Raising Chickens: The Way of Hen will be out October 31, 2010, in the UK. You can "look inside" on Amazon.com and Amazon UK. You can only order it from the UK at this point, but if I get enough hits on the US site, a US publisher will be more likely to swoop in and bring it here.

This book is a part of a series done by Leaping Hare Press related to spiritual homesteading. I'm not sure which titles are forthcoming, but the companion to Zen Chickens is Meditation and the Art of Beekeeping by Mark Magill. I saw some of this before it came out and it looks equally fabulous. 


Enjoy!

Nature's Devotional: Cricket Chorus

Want to hear something really cool? Check out "God's Cricket Chorus" (link below). This recording of cricket song slowed down in ratio to the length of a human lifespan versus a cricket's lifespan gives me chills. It makes me wonder in what other ways nature and spirituality reflect each other. Musically, this has lots of fourths and fifths, which are comfortable intervals that are also often used in religious music. Is there a bigger significance? I'm not sure. I like to think there is.
