1. I am interested in your perception of Green. If you were to meet Lady Green as you are today, how do you think she would appear to you?
A woman in a long green dress, long sunkissed hair (blonde/brown), thirty-ish, graceful, moving slowly and mindfully, calm and patient, brown eyes, smiling. The dress is mottled with different shades of green found in nature--grass green, moss green, apple green, that blue-green you see in lichens attached to rocks. Her hair is unstyled, natural, lovely. She is barefoot, her feet are dark from the dirt. She is beautiful but not frightening, not awe-inspiring but love-inspiring.
2. What do you think Lady Green represents for you in your life?
Comfort with the world, comfort with the body and the physical. I'm someone who tends to live in my head, so part of Green to me is about moving beyond that. Sometimes I feel like connecting to reality and the earth is as difficult as connecting consciously to spirit (and I am a psychic "cement-head" so that is saying something!). I think of her as rooted in a way I cannot be.
3. What are your three greatest pleasures? And most importantly, why are these three your greatest pleasures?
My three greatest pleasures? First is...you know when you're working on something, writing or studying or creating somehow, and you hit that perfect zone, where everything is smooth and there's this sense of pure joy? That. It's pretty rare these days for me, but all the more precious for that.
Second? Writing itself, even without that "perfect zone." Connecting with spirit in that way.
Third? When all is well, when I have nothing pressing that I have to do, when everyone is getting along, when there is a general sense of contentment in my house. That is a pleasure.
What I am noticing is that none of these are physical pleasures. They are all pleasures of the mind. Also, they all have to do with reaching a certain state of mind, sometimes a state of balance, sometimes a peak, but always a point where things just feel "right" to me.
10. If you could retreat to a little cabin in the woods, as did Little Bird in Chapter Six of the story, what would you take with you?
A computer to write on (and the internet for researching). Food I like that's easy and quick to make. A comfortable chair to work on, a comfortable bed to sleep in. A quilt to work on when I was tired of writing. And no company whatsoever.
11. Just as important, what would you leave behind?
Telephone. Television. People.
12. Would your purpose in staying in a little cabin in the woods be the same as it was for Little Bird in the story, or would you have a different purpose?
I think it would be different--my purpose would be to be alone to work. I don't know for sure that I'd get more done that way but it would be nice to have the opportunity.
