Ode to Gaia Phd Deborah J Milton

Ode to Gaia - Calling Forth our Imaginal Selves is a small art book with an important message. We humans are dependent on the well-being of a tiny planet spinning in the vastness of space, but we act as if that weren't true. Milton's flowing, poetic text and colorful, complex images revel in the miracle of life and suggest how we might change our patterns of thinking and thus our behavior to respond pro-actively to that truth. Inspired by the imaginal cells that transform the caterpillar to the butterfly, Milton invites us to consider that we are the imaginal selves of humanity, encouraging each of us to give voice and be seen so we can use our limitless potential to evolve as a wiser species and contribute to a thriving global culture. Ode to Gaia includes two pages for the reader's own creative response by coloring in an image or drawing their own.
