FROM ALICE WALKER

Dear Gail,
Rhythms of the Land is mesmerizing.  I could hardly breathe, I was so moved by the beauty of our people as they remain in presence, as well as in memory, in the arms of the land.  I could see my own family: mother, father, brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, and loved this memory of how self-sufficient our people were, some are still, and many may become again.


A beautiful presentation for which ancestors are no doubt dancing their thank yous to you.
Deep bow, Beloved, and well done.
Alice
