Becoming Intimate with the Earth

There's a compelling new narrative for the world-a soul-stirring story that recreates the role of humans and offers hope in these challenging times. This book invites you to live inside this narrative, to embrace the blessing as well as the shadow of modern culture. It seamlessly weaves together our new science-based cosmology, the traditional wisdom of indigenous people, and an artist's passionate engagement with life. Discover how intimately you are related to everything in the Universe-the stars in the heavens, the worms in the garden, the bacteria in your body. Find new ways to engage with the natural world, including, and especially, your own body. Be guided by wit, wisdom, poetry, and stories of transformation that come straight from the heart of a fierce, compassionate woman. "Science-rich, artful, soul-nourishing." Michael Dowd, author Thank God for Evolution. "... an insightful, creative, compelling and very readable presentation of this vitally important message ... I have been inspired by reading this book!"
