The good fortune of being Nature''s recent
champions has swollen the human ego. It might also be
said that the industrial revolution has moved our
species into its rebellious teen years. We have
forgotten how to be grateful for the guidance Mother
Earth gave us in our childhood. Now certain that we
have all the answers, our dominant western
ideologies have situated us in an artificial
existence. But we need not live disconnected from
reality. The tales in Mother''s Forgotten Garden have
the power to unearth the covered fragments of our
fractured human past using a variety of conceptual
literary forms and devices. Some of this book''s
stories have been designed with the scientific and
symbolic patterns of Nature in mind (i.e. sine and
cosine curves, the yin-yang), while others only
level a critical or satirical eye upon some of the
oppressive ideologies at play in one of the world''s
most modern nations: the United States of America.
Taken together, this collection gathers unlikely
companions as one handful of miscellaneous wild seeds
scattered over loose dirt, the forgotten beauty of
asymmetric growth. If only we remember how, we can
begin to evolve once more.
