I was a child of the soil who often wandered alone in the woodland, amidst the growing grain, comfortable with solitude. A sense of euphoria comes over me as I see her in my mind’s eye and relive her yearning to be intertwined in the forces of life. She was, as I believe each small child potentially is, a feminist. She cares for all of life – for the cosmos as she perceived it.
