WOW! THIS IS A
MASTERPIECE. Images—visual and written—are filled with life,
color, motion and feeling. And love. Love of the earth and all it’s
creatures.
Editor Judith Boice presents us with a lilting gift, a voluptuous view
(through women’s eyes) of our world, past present and future and all
that
lives within and upon it.
In her
acknowledgement,
Boice gives thanks to “the Elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—the
foundation of all Creation...the three Graces—Aglai (Brilliance),
Euphorosyne
(Joy), and Thalia (Bloom) who infuse the Elements with elegance and
beauty...[and]
Gaia, Mother Earth, my ongoing source of inspiration and support—may
these
words and images honor your strength and beauty.”
“Mother
Earth” indeed
honors the strength and beauty of it’s namesake.
