Nature Mystic

My poetry collection from 2008 with Heaventree Press.

From the back cover:

The philosophy of these poems is in their shared ethos of Dharma and Druidry. Regardless of the originating nation, language or culture, these and other forms of mysticism are comparable attempts to open up that dimension of human experience that is beyond words.

Here Patterson, both a scientist and a spiritual practitioner, uses poetry, passionate and contemporary in its style and, further, with its own formal regulations and restrictions, as a medium-perhaps the best medium-to attempt expression of this unutterable experience. These poems are his journey, written during several years of exploring this hidden dimension in the natural world.
