Parker Palmer, Happy Birthday!! I met you once in person and own 2 of your books. Your words mean a lot to me, because you’re authentic and a wise teacher with a big heart. Thank you for being who you are!

Happy birthday to one of my favorite authors. This 90 year old plans to use “The Music Will Play On” at her memorial service, but not yet! Who knew you could compose such a piece!

Happy Birthday Parker! I've appreciated your writing since I read your essay Leadership from Within at the Institute for Renewing Community Leadership in Minneapolis in 1995. It was a game changer for me.

Wishing you, Parker, a most blessed 85th year! You have given so much to so many. Please know how much you are loved and appreciated. You books have been life-changing for me and I will always remember with great gratitude and affection the conversation my co-author Brother Paul Quenon and I were able to have with you and Carrie on your podcast about our book "How To Be." The definition you gave of contemplation during that conversation is something I return to frequently. Tanti auguri, as we Italians say!
