“Some books come from a person, and some books come through a person. The former are like dried fruit whose wisdom is preserved and always available. They have no expiration date. The latter are like fresh fruit so ripe they must be eaten or lost. Their expiration date is always Now. Gaby Meyer’s On the Verge of the Verb is the latter. Eat it Now or its Wisdom will be lost.”
Rabbi Rami Shapiro
Author of Zen Mind, Jewish Mind
"In this engaging and charming text, Gabriel Meyer uses non- fiction fiction to embark us on a journey, weaving together the real and the utopia on an autobiographical portrait. The book is a play on the mysterious border between the dream as "illusion" and the dream as "project", as a vision for the future. Meyer uses this with politics, spirituality, and love. A tour through space, from Argentina to India, Jerusalem, and beyond, and through intergenerational time. From his parents' dream - Gabriel is the son of the visionary rabbi blending human rights with ethics and the spirit - to the son's dream, manifested in song, joy, and sacred activism."
Rabbi Nilton Bonder - Bestselling author and member of the Brazilian Academy of Literature, founder of Midrash Cultural Center.
"On the Edge of the Verb" is a critical contribution to our collective imaginary. It is one of the most relevant pieces of visionary fiction at a time when our culture is bereft of alternative cosmologies and worldviews that can orient us in times of breakdown and renewal. Meyer's life experience as an activist, musician, organizer, and sacred scribe brings to bear a kaleidoscope of possibility, hope, and presence in the midst of transition."
Alnoor Ladha, co-founder of The Rules, Tierra Valiente, and Culture Hack Labs; co-author
of Post Capitalist Philosophy: Healing wealth in the time of collapse.
“Intriguing, as a journey should be, like a map of the heart, responding to the imagination of reality.”

“This is a brave book about sacred activism, with a stunning vision at its center so persuasive that, after reading, you will say: I want to know this man. I want to meet his friends. I want to hear his music; I want to have his life.”

Founding Teacher, Zen Peacemaker Order
“You must read this book. A common songline for peace-activists, connecting with the spring and the river finding their way back home to the ocean, and facing the reality of war but never giving up the love to the tender secret of peace and life.”
Sabine Lichtenfels
Co-founder of Tamera Peace Research EcoVillage
“In his passionate spiritual odyssey, Gaby Meyer dances at the nexus of indigenous, Hebraic, Sufi, and other-worldly mystical wisdom, unfolding stories from a rich lifetime of travel at the edge of the possible. Hilarious, surprising, provocative, and full of longing, the reader cannot resist joining the magic of the adventure.”
Rabbi Tirzah Firestone
Author, Jungian psychotherapist, and Jewish scholar and teacher.
"From Buenos Aires to New York, Jerusalem to Portugal, Gabriel takes you on an inner and outer journey in search of the Big Vision. And in the course of his travels, life is always unfolding. Nothing is static - all is in movement, and the destination is collective liberation."

Executive Producer “Fantastic Fungii” and producer “Disturbing the Peace”
"You do not want to put this book down. Gabriel takes you on a journey of imagination through multiple dimensions. He invites you to expand your perception of what we think we know by inviting you to enter the realm of lucid dreaming. He reminds you that peacemaking is about bringing heart, soul, and creativity together. This book needs a genre of its own."

Director of Nonviolence International.
