I was wondering if anyone here has read or is reading The Great Work: our way into the future by Thomas Berry?
It is a book that really gives a powerful vision of how we must reconnect with nature including the whole universe, if we are to live into the future.
A great view of it is included in Amazon.com at: link. Enjoy.

Thanks, Americ!!! You have returned so I shall work on posting the pix of the wonderous forests in the High Sierra of California. They are burned into my mind and onto a CD and they were, indeed, magical!
Have not read this book, but for you I shall hunt it down and do so! Thanks for creating the topic!

Are you really going to kill 39 unicorns, Marcia? What is the significance of this? A virtual hunt for mythical beasts.

Oh heavens, no! Topic 39... It was a duplicate of Topic 38 and Hosts like me have "Kill" buttons which enable us to make entire topic disapppear forever. I am VERY careful about that button!!!
If I see even one unicorn I will try to convince it of my chastity and be most tender and kind. Hast thou seen the beast who missed the Ark?? The closest I have ever been to them was the Unicorn Tapestries at The Cloisters in New York City!

The tapestries are beautiful. The Cloisters is must see when in New York. It sits in a really beautiful park, Fort Tryon State Park, I think. Both the park and the museum are worth the trip to Washington Heights.
Back to the unicorns, after you've convinced the lovely beast that you are pure of heart, be sure to note if it really does have blue eyes. I remember reading that unicorns should have dark blue eyes.

*sigh* I will remember that. Now, if only I would do my duty as hostess and read this book and download more pictures of the magical woodlands...
