Synopsis

“DELIGHTFUL .... Spoken from a heart full of love.” C.P. “PROPHET, POET, sanest man in the asylum, Jerry is little of each. This is a book I go to when I’m down, and it never fails to lift my spirits.” G.R. DUMPSTERS, TIN WHISTLES, A DOG NAMED MAX, the kindness of strangers, wild turkeys, old machines, an occasional stroke of divine intervention... Jerry Freeman is a gifted storyteller. In beautifully written, lovingly illustrated vignettes, he recounts a simple, blessed life fashioned from unexpected gifts he finds along the way. Here is a model of loving kindness in action and of true spiritual transformation, reminiscent of Thomas Merton’s journals, and as poignantly inspiring. Ultimately, this is a book about compassion, about unity consciousness, about the deep interconnectedness of people and each other, of people and nature, of people and the cosmos. In 202 pages and 143 delightful photos, Angels, Beggars and Castaway Things: A Forager's Journey Home spans ten years of life in rural Connecticut and before that, in rural northern New York. Written in an effortlessly readable day-by-day journal style, it offers a rich assortment of observations, anecdotes, essays, insights and stories, which together paint a picture of deeply heartfelt affection amid a profoundly life-affirming journey. COMMENT FROM EDITOR JO HEMMANT: "I’ve had the immense pleasure of editing this truly beautiful book. I’ve rarely been so moved or motivated by anything I’ve read — and I read lots of really wonderful books!"
