“Rosanne Daryl Thomas's tale of her enchantment by bees is a delight to read. It also contains close observations of the natural world, tales of failure and triumph with the hives, and a stellar cast of characters that includes her daughter, their cats, the hapless Farmer Tom, Pete the crossing guard, and, most important, the Bee Master. Every word tastes sweet as honey.” WorldImportantCharacterNaturalSweetMastersTasteDaughterCatCastsDelightTalesObservationTriumphFarmersHoneyTomsBeesNatural WorldCrossingsEnchantmentHivesStellar Author:Janet Lembke
“Bare skin is the one and only right criterion for receiving water's gracious acceptance or any acceptance whatsoever from that element. But Pliny also seems to say something more: Stripping off not caution but the stale, crusty garments of preconception, peeling sensibly down to raw, new nakedness, is the only way to enter and be properly embraced by the world.” WorldWaySeemsWaterAcceptanceElementsSkinsClothingsReceivingCautionCriteriaGraciousGarmentsStalePreconceptionsStrippingPeelingBare Skin Author:Janet Lembke
