    Open Range: Grief, Humor, Music and Other Occasions

    About this ebook

    Open Range is a navigational tool, guiding the reader on a difficult but rewarding journey through consciousness and subjective experience, making stops at the hidden but intense areas of grief, humor, music, and the self. Borrowing ideas from Whitehead, Bergson, and Bateson, the author explores the occasion, the smallest bit of experience, vijnana, the river of self-occasions, and recursiveness, the way we weave past occasions into the present.

    Ralph Thurston

    Ralph Thurston lives in Blackfoot, Idaho with his wife, watercolorist Jeriann Sabin, twenty miles from the Tilden area where he was raised in the early 1960s. His other books, mostly nonfiction, include two how-to books on cut flower growing, a trade the couple plied for over two decades, only recently retiring.
