The Greeks have given us a wealth of complex folklore and myths that are full of meaning for our lives. Among them are the stories of the Goddess Artemis and her human counterpart, Atalanta. They give us clues as to how to navigate the zig-zags of life. While demonstrating that life never unfolds in a straight line, the Greek myths give us inspiration to live into our fullness.

Trees are our essential partners in life on this planet. Not only are they indispensable to our wellbeing, they are sacred. Bolen's thwarted efforts to save a magnificent Monterey Pine tree in her yard from those who wanted to have a better view moved her to look at the anatomy and physiology of trees as well as the archetypal and sacred symbols they represent.

"People experience a myth as the truth, in metaphor form, for themselves," says psychiatrist and author Jean Bolen. Her book Ring of Power (HarperSanFrancisco 1992) describes the truths that Wagner's great mythical Ring cycle of operas shows us about personal family situations and world politics. The parallels are fascinating and compelling.
