when two become one

Bliss is when one of your most inspirational heroes teams up with one of your favorite artist.
For me, this coalesced through Vandana Shiva's collaboration with Nikki McClure for her book covers.

 

My copy of Manifestos was stolen during our 2008 cross-country road trip. I very lovingly purchased it at Powell's Books in Portland, and had it tragically ripped from my car when some crazyhead broke into it in San Francisco. On New Years Day. Memories!

I've just ordered Staying Alive because I've been thinking about women, ecology, development and everything else that was uttered from Shiva's mouth during her talk at UC Berkeley. She was simply brilliant and inspiring. If you want to sit in ecofeminist glee, watch the recording of her talk while you sip on your home-grown tea and home-made crumpets. Or in my case, my genetically modified banana and evil can of Coca Cola. Baby steps, guys.

I was close enough to take this pic. Pee.in.my.pants.
