Summary: What next
Review: As I tried keeping up with the images and story line, I felt it effecting me like a bad LSD trip. I am not sure what I was supposed to learn from these latest adventures into Wonderland but I will say this was the least entertaining of the series. I think that this type of Shamanism may be running out of gas.

Summary: An amazing glimpse into relationships and gardening
Review: I first read this book several years ago, and was so intrigued by some of the ideas within it that I kept it on my shelf. I just moved into a new home that has a garden, and I'm rereading Shakkai to get some insights on how to go about planning a garden that would be a true spiritual haven for me. What I totally missed in the first reading was the correspondence between human relationships and the human/natural world relationship. I was approaching my garden with a sense of respect, but now I have an even deeper understanding that the garden is about the relationships between the plants (and amongst them) and myself. I have only read a couple of Andrews books, but the parallels between this future life story and what I know of her current life experiences is shocking and yet comforting. I now see myself as the center of my universe, surrounding by relationships with people that cross the bounds of time, and by relationships with all of the physical objects around me. My vision for my garden now is to create a place that reflects my inner peace and self understanding, more than it is about gardening books and landscape architecture. Thank you, Lynn, for an outstanding new experience of my own life.
