Books By Roderick MacIver
The inner work underlying creative work, and the creation of a unique life.
Heron Dance books explore the use of journaling in understanding the patterns of our lives, hidden and obvious, the currents of spirituality and subconscious thought that underlie each of our lives, and the myths that guide us without us realizing it.

Meditations on Gratitude, Beauty and Mystery ($49)
Gratitude as a philosophy of life and spiritual practice.
Our lives are a brief spark between two eternities. We are surrounded by natural beauty. The nature of the gift we've been given -- life -- is elusive and mysterious. This book celebrates that gift from a wide variety of perspectives. What we express gratitude for gains power in our lives.
The work in this book evolved out of the popular Substack, A Pause for Beauty as well as The Heron Dance Book of Love and Gratitude, the book published twenty years ago that remains the most popular book Heron Dance has ever published.
This new edition is 11 x 8.5 inches, oblong, with a lay flat double wire-o binding.
156 pages.
Softcover (lay flat, wire-o binding) 11 x 8.5 inches horizontal.
