This morning's desert sunrise for those who
haven't checked off this recessionista green
goddess item.
And speaking of goddesses,
once again, I return to
LAST GODDESS STANDING
as the title for the new novel in progress.
What's this obsession w/ goddesses,
the Guadalupe, Virgenes, etc.?
Could it be simply that our diet of patriarchal
destructive, oppressive quasi-religious powers reigning fear and havoc throughout the world beg for the feminine face of God?
