*Deborah - this is the most wonderful thing you have ever done. Its magnificent! Save me another one because this one is going as a gift to my favorite niece, Thanks so much for your insight and skill. DM, WA

*Just read and soul-consumed my Gaia book…I treasure it, even more beyond-words: bittersweet beautiful and prayerful than I expected. It now sits just above my mini-altar and will be read and touched often ( and I look forward to adding some of my coloring!) Gaia was certainly guiding you not only in words and painting, but in your TIMING of getting this out…thank you. MR, WA

*Everything about Ode to Gaia is beautiful and wise and so very necessary. Thank you. You are an inspiration to me and your commitment to beauty and re-storying a sacred world helps me to maintain my own…Your love and talent are on every page, with love and gratitude, CS, CA

*A wondrous loving book filled with images of Gaia…you and your work are a constant inspiration…mine has been on my alter ..gracing my space with your love and deep wisdom. JP Ontario CN

The book offers support and inspiration during these perilous - and amazing – times. As I reread the book today, I realize it’s a handbook for moving toward an Ecological Civilization and embracing the possibility of a new era in humanity’s evolution that might be called the Symbiocene- mutual benefit. I encourage doubt in the old story that’s guided us for thousands of years and inspire faith in mystery, unexpected cultural shifts, non-duality, the perfection of paradox and the harmony of complex wild systems. With beauty and LOVE, I show how we can learn to trust again in the wisdom of our Mother.

Inspired by a stump in what was once an old growth forest in the Carmanah-Walbran Preserve on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, I wrote and illustrated a small handcrafted book. Two years later due to popular demand, I published it as a book of 64 pages of visionary art and words that encourage deep thinking about the cultural story in which we currently live. To carry the spirit of the original book forward, I used the original pen and ink cover as the introductory title page in the new book. You can color it in! I’ve included two other pages to inspire your personal creativity and three pages of links and suggestions. Some of those links are to people and programs with whom I participate on a regular basis. You can join us!
