Reconnecting with Nature and Yourself
creation, and so creativity, is the act of giving life, the nourishing and enhancement of life, in whatever way you choose to do it. and when we find our individual creative power, we can harness it and use it to fight for what we care about, to remake the world in our own image. but what might such a creative woman look like and how might she do such a thing?
