I want to pay tribute to a past guest who I interviewed in May 2022 on my podcast – Sadly, Gary Cook died peacefully at home a few days ago – in the fold of his family and beloved forest.
Though his physical presence will be deeply missed, the magic of the intangible world he shared with us will live on. Our hearts will stay full knowing he’s gone home to a place he briefly experienced during a near death experience 52 years ago – a place he once said he didn’t want to come back from.
