Reflections for Three
Dr. Bob Weathers & Amanda Tate, MSW

My daughter, Amanda, and I collaborated on this initial book -- combining my love for music and poetry (hers, too), plus Amanda's incredibly keen eye for beauty. The book is intended for the reader to join in, as well, by means of personal reflections and daily exercises. Each entry is linked to an original musical piece, composed specifically for this project. A co-created bounty is what we envisioned here...Enjoy!
