It has been a deep privilege and joy to share many conversations with Andrew Teal, and in him I have found a wonderful companion and friend in our more-than-human world. His compassion, wisdom and humility are both nourishing and clarifying, and our spontaneous dialogues - the fabric of which is interwoven with Buddha and Christ, and mine and Andrew's experiences of living and being - fill me with a sense of wonder and peace. The living and breathing universe is infinite in its creativity, magic and beauty, and this is especially apparent to me when in the company of Andrew Teal.
