Sobre

As a child, the author, Jon Lobdell, developed a
deep affinity for nature, while roaming about trails on
Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California.
He had an equal interest in words, especially the turning of a
good phrase! Attending a poetry class in 1972 at a junior college,
spurred a love of poetry. He has read and written
poetry in the nearly 50 years since then.

In his early 30’s he became interested in
spiritual understanding. Through the study of
Breema Bodywork© and Gurdjieff Work, he experienced
some direct insights into the nature of existence.
He found poetry one of the most effective ways of
pointing at these truths. The poems of Mary Oliver showed him
how starting with simple observation of nature
is the perfect entry into the inherent wisdom of all life.
The poems of Rilke, Rumi, and Antonio Machado
are also major influences.

He is also the author of a novel, “Moments of Grace,
A Life in the Time of Jesus.” Available on Amazon kindle.
