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.
