I have to say that I found this work simply breath-taking from the first poem on. Tessa Crigger focuses on issues of conscious living
anti-racism
natural resource consumption
the necessity of finding alternatives and the importance of the individual. At the end of the book
she gives readers a glimpse into her personal life
which I think was helpful in understanding the author.
Her unique style made me feel teleported to a warm night
a warming campfire and sitting quietly while listening to ancient stories and lessons orated by elders. It was a wonderful feeling.
Tessa insists upon the power of the individual: "act upon these things and turn no more blind eyes
become what we were meant to be and at least give it a try". Her passion for the health of the planet is quite admirable.
I was honestly so taken with what Tessa had to say
I even wrote the following quotes out for my bulletin board: "Nations are built upon it and wars are fought to keep it
when all along we should be looking for a way to heal it" and "The children must be given more than a picture or a museum
the nature of our planet cannot be found in a coliseum".
Though a little long
her poems had many valuable thoughts to share and did not seem to ramble or get redundant. I truly believe her work will help influence others to make an effort for a positive change. Just like ripples in the pond
each one of us can have a very real and important impact
even with the smallest of actions.
