A meditation manual for elders using short fiction is expected to be distrubuted in the United States the winter of 2006/7.
Tovli currently resides in the USA with her family and writes from her home in West Virginia.
The river deepens.
Winter solace detaches;
blushing with sunrise.
...
Across the prairie;
burning suns fuse horizon;
earth befriends heaven.
...
The snow is melting;
thunder above heaven growls,
splintering glaciers.
