Wax Statues, Cotton Candy, and the Second Coming (An Inner Exploration of the Essenes, the Birth of Christianity, and Its Impending Renewal) was published several years after we moved to Light Morning. Based on our dreams, a series of evocative meditations, and on the spiral dance of the seasons, Wax Statues conveys the foundational intent which has anchored us here for over thirty years.
What follows is not so much an account of homesteading or life in community. Instead, it is part of an ongoing search for the hidden source of a seemingly insatiable longing. It is a story about the refining of a desire, and about how dreams and religious dramas serve as way stations between heaven and Earth. Finally, it is the story of one dream in particular, a dream about wax statues and cotton candy, a dream that came like a seed during the first night that we spent on the newly acquired land.
