Cette collection de poèmes spirituels dérive principalement des années de travail de méditation de l'auteur. Le résultat est une série d'éclats réfléchis, méditatifs et poétiques qui puisent dans le monde naturel, l'émotion et ce que signifie être dans le moment présent. Il y a de la magie et de la curiosité à trouver dans ce travail, et une appréciation toujours présente pour le moment.
Il y a des poèmes et des poèmes en prose dans cette collection, et une grande variété de sujets. Pris dans leur ensemble, les poèmes de Once is so many encouragent le lecteur à voir avec son œil intérieur et à comprendre le monde au-delà du langage. Parfois, il y a une rime ou une allitération, mais cela se produit seul et n'est jamais recherché.

Mr. Watson has spent some forty years engaged in meditation work, attending sesshin (intense meditation retreats) at the Montreal Zen Center, where he received guidance from Albert Low, and retreats at the Springwater Center for Retreats and Meditative Inquiry, where he worked for many years with Toni Packer; since her death in 2013, he has been working with Stephan Bielfeldt. Throughout, he has come to understand that meditation does not take place only when one is actively engaged in practice, seated on the mat or in retreat, but that there is a mystery that can present itself any time. And sometimes, understanding, or a moment of insight, can find expression in a text or a poem.
The author lives in a beautiful, century-old brick house filled with art and books and music, in the centre of Ottawa. Always present in his life are cats, the most delightful, capricious and graceful of all creatures. He works still as a conference interpreter, in English and French, and spends his evenings at the gym or in concert halls.
