Dreaming Wide Awake - Ayris Hatton

Dreaming Wide Awake is a poetic exploration of creativity, nature, and self-reflection. The poetry, prose vignettes, and original artwork unfold seasonally. They guide us on a journey from unconscious distraction to a place of presence and awareness, and an appreciation of natural beauty.

The author shares everyday experiences that lead to meaningful connections and insight. Seemingly simple things like an iridescent hummingbird flitting in the manzanita, or diamond glints of sunlight on the bay, beckon us to something beyond.

The writings and art act as a bridge between the ordinary and the extraordinary and remind us of the transformative power of the arts and the mystery and miracle of existence.
