MAX REIF'S STORIES, ESSAYS, AND POEMS IN

THE MINDFUL WORD: a Journal of Mindfulness and Engaged Living has been featuring my stories, articles, and poems for the past year or so. Here is a TABLE OF CONTENTS of what has appeared thus far. It reads like a little book. I wish continued success and wider and wider readership to Jane Olivier, Meagan Philipp, Kiva Battero, and the rest of the MINDFUL WORD team. --Max Reif, January, 2013
