The Way of Gaia

The Way of Gaia is a collection of paintings and prose that speaks to humanity's relationship to the planet through the lenses of ecology, evolution, and the environment. The book calls out through form and texture for a narrative that realigns the reader's sense of self and species identity to that of being part of a vast network of life linked together by relationships of shared ancestry, beauty, and interdependence. It is a narrative that calls for us to live as a respectful part of Earth's biosphere. Here one will find offerings of prose and poetry in the form of lessons and prayers coupled with paintings rich in shape and color that invite us all to see and understand with mind, heart, and soul our true connections with the Web of Life. Themes explored in the book include the Tree of Life, Earth cycles and movement, biological diversity, animism, interspecific interactions, organismal specialization, physiological pathways, reproduction, sensory systems, biophysical patterns, the extinction crisis, planetary thresholds, and the Anthropocene. The authors hope the offerings in this book will affirm, inspire, and contribute to replacing the destructive narratives of modern society with mental and spiritual frames that encourage humanity to honor and restore life on this sacred Earth, as well as contribute to the flourishing of all life without end.
