    Effort, Uncertainty, and Cerridwen's potion

    Send Catherine a text Message"It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope." –Ursula K.

    The Bricoleur

    Send Catherine a text MessageHow we imagine our lives is how we live our lives, and mythologies provide the images and ideas in this process. But images of the human in the dominant myths-- as sinner, dominator, or world destroyer-- aren't guiding us toward a bright future.
