The
"Cosmic Egg Mythologies" evolved
out of an awareness that for our children to live
in peaceful, life-affirming societies, they need new
non-violent, life-affirming myths on which to be raised.
Since mythologies are stories that imbue our culture
with the ideals to which we aspire, I asked myself
what our stories or mythologies would be like if we
taught our children to have mutually-beneficial relationships
with themselves, each other, and the earth. All cultures
have a story of creation, so I, too, began at the
beginning with a story of creation.
Included
in this trilogy are a new creation story "Divine
Sparks," a new first couple story "Under
the Arbor," and a new ten commandments "Thou
Shalls." These stories focus on the celebration
of nascent life, and the sanctity of the life story.
These
mythologies were written and illustrated in Crete.
