I dedicate the book to the Earth, who is Mother, Daughter, Friend and Beloved, so that all humans may find a way to love her (and each other) more.

I dedicate it also to the ancient image of women's power, the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, that we may clearly and fiercely protect mothering ways and, free from addictions and misconceptions, give birth to a better society.

"Language is as old as consciousness, language is practical consciousness that exists also for other men [sic] and for that reason alone it really exists personally for me as well. . . ."

Karl Marx

"Whom does the Grail serve?"
