Yet I no longer wanted to make long-term plans, nor try to design my fate. Life can change in a second. If you let it. The essence of grace was to live within the mysteries, accept the uncertainties, and greet whatever develops (Waking Up in Eden: In Pursuit of an Impassioned Life on an Imperiled Island Paperback, p. 268).

Whether as journalist, gardener, or outrigger paddler, Lucinda Fleeson tells a moving, personal tale of her personal search for her Jungian "self consciousness." In elegant prose infused with honest emotion, Fleeson weaves together history, ecology, adventure and gardening as she learns to live her own life amid the colorful lives of friends and colleagues at the National Tropical Botanical Garden and on Kauai. Not just a book for women, gardeners, or adventurers, Waking Up in Eden leaves the reader with hope that s/he too can learn to accept life's uncertainties and meet the opportunities that come knocking. ]]> <![CDATA[Dan added 'Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . .
