The Journal of a Contemporary Mystic from Rural Connecticut
“Beggars, Angels, and Throwaway Things” is a rich testimony of what means to be fully human in the 21st century. Living in the rural Connecticut, Jerry Freeman paints the picture of a timeless world, in which parents raise caring children, neighbors are friends, beggars hide saintly faces, animals are wise, and nature radiates awareness. Everyday stories weave together moments of struggle and joy, frustration and insight: the story of Aileen’s vegetable garden, Jerry’s lawn mower, the pear trees, the flock of turkeys, the children’s help to clean the shop, the trustworthy Jim, and so on. For a living, Jerry tweaks whistles, displaying an unmatched knowledge and creativity in improving the voice and performance of each instrument. But he tweaks much more than musical whistles: Jerry has a big collection of tools and machines saved and fixed, to populate now Jerry’s house and grounds, a dream for any handyman. And in every journal entry, beyond all the colorful details, beats a big heart, which will make you cry and laugh, make you whole again and nurture your trust in the fundamental goodness of humanity. Just as we are what we do, we are what we read, and we all need more books like this to keep the world alive. Buy it, read it, and pass it on.
