Happy Earth Day! Here’s a photo showing the giant sunflowers that grew the year I was writing When We Were Gods. The nature god, Pan, Lord of the Wilderness, had appeared while I was writing the book and asked me to include a chapter about nature and nature spirits in the book, which I did. Pan wanted readers to know that nature could clean up the earth if we would just show more appreciation for the natural world.
Sunflowers grew over 14 feet tall–I’m 5 feet, 3 inches tall–after I included Pan’s message in When We Were Gods.
After I included the chapter in the book, I had a phenomenal garden. I felt that Pan was showing me and the world an example of what nature could do when appreciated.
