So, I finally had the opportunity to get together with Heather for more than five minutes (we'd only met once before today) and she was kind enough to bring me a copy of Mother Wove the Morning. I've been meaning to get this book for ages.
I know what I'm doing tomorrow! Woo hoo!
UPDATE:
Wow, that book is so much shorter than I thought it would be for some reason. Granted, it's the content of a 90 minute play, but for some reason I was expecting it to be longer and I read it within about an hour.
It left me wanting so much more, in a very good way. I wanted it to go on I wanted to hear more stories, more women's voices. Some of the stories given are heartbreaking, some make you smile. All of them are beautiful. They illustrate--sometimes just too well--how much we have lost our Mother, and how much we need her and what Her absence has done to us.
Dryad is sending me the DVD soon (which I'll have to send on back to its original owner!) which is very exciting. I can't wait to see it. So yes, I highly recommend this book!
I borrowed the movie first, and sent it to Dryad...
