Gayle Boss invites us to realize that God can be known in all creatures, and that paying attention to these creatures makes us more fully human, more fully ourselves. "The practice of Advent has always been about helping us to grasp the mystery of a new beginning out of what looks like death. Other-than-human creatures--sprung, like us, from the Source of Life--manifest this mystery without question or doubt. The more Im with animals and the more I learn about them, the more I know they can be more than our companions on this planet. They can be our guides. They can be to us a book about God...a word of God, the God who comes, even in the darkest season, to bring us a new beginning." --Gayle Boss from All Creation Waits Learn more about All Creation Waits and find free resources at AllCreationWaits.com Author Biography Gayle Boss writes from West Michigan, where she was born and raised. Her lifelong love of animals and her immersion in spiritual texts and practices have melded in poems and essays that explore how relationships with animals specifically, and an attentive presence in the natural world generally, restore us to our deepest selves. Also the author of Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing, Gayle lives with her husband and Welsh corgi rescue. "Writing about animals and the human-animal bond is the writing that enthralls me. Ive found it true, what the thirteenth-century mystic Meister Eckhart said: God is equally near in all creatures. Many human creatures and two corgis have loved me and encouraged my work. Beyond them, the creatures and landscapes of Michigans west coast, often wounded, open to me wonder after wonder." -- Gayle Boss David G.
