I chatted with Susan Griffin over breakfast in her lovely home in Berkeley, California. This separation has brought our own personal lives and the life of the planet to a crisis. Matter is perceived as dead, and we treat it like an object, while the intellect is divorced from the truth of experience.


“We in the modern world often separate spirit from matter,” she says. Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her, by Susan Griffinįor Susan Griffin, poet, philosopher and feminist, the sacred is seated in nature-in the earth and in the body, which is of the earth. The cattails, sedges, rushes, reeds, over the marsh. The grass reflecting all that lives in the soil. Because we know ourselves to be made from this earth.
