"I am but a tiny thread in an infinite web of shimmering life, no more or less than the rocks and stars."
Graces: love, compassion, forgiveness, humor, gratitude, integrity, wisdom, joy, growth, mindfulness, control, energy and inspiration
-Dianne Sylvan (from The Circle Within)
I'm also reading Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Shinoda Bolen, but I'm just having the hardest time getting through it. I love the idea of taking goddesses and their stories - in this case, Artemis, Athena, Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Persephone, and Aphrodite - and seeing the parallels to modern women's lives. Getting through the book itself, though, is proving problematic. I think I'd do better with a straight mythology book.
