O
Mother Sun!
A New View of the Cosmic
Feminine
The
Crossing Press,
1994.
Many books on mythology
claim that the sun is always male. Not so,
Patricia argues, in this massively-researched
but entertainingly-written book. From Japan to
Egypt, Ireland to Brazil, Turkey to Alaska, the
sun has been seen as a goddess. She is a dancing
shaman, a weaving spider, a fierce warrior. But
she is not an Apollo in skirts. A
ground-breaking work of mythic analysis.

Girls Website.
There
are places in this world that are utterly wild--untamed,
unfenced,
untrammeled
places where nature is the only law.
Where the animals speak and
the
world flowers. And
there is such a space within us, a place that sings
of
the Maiden Goddess, the Wild Girl who knows her own power
and potential.
She
is every woman: the girl at the brink of womanhood, the
mother engaging
her
own inner girl as she meets the energy of her daughter, the
wise woman
who
honors the untamed girl within.
All are Wild Girls, unabashed in their
desire for life, willful and proud and strong.

with Chaos: Poems

http://www.solasweb.com/Examination/index1.htm
Poetry and physics dance in this collection inspired by
metaphors drawn from chaos theory and quantum mechanics.
Mathematics can graph the heart's chaotic rhythm, but this
poetry moves with that rhythm. From the strange attractor who
disrupts life's laminar flow to the mysteries of sensitive
dependence and hurricanes in space/time, Dancing with Chaos
links science and poetry in a passionate tango.
