Martha McFerren looks for wisdom in the world around her, which includes the past and its narrative expression in myth. She profoundly feels that those before us were like us, that they mean something to us, even heavily wrapped in the enigmas of distant times and cultures. She asks, "How is the other like me?" And she seeks to discover what she doesn't know about herself and about the rest of us. She senses the mysteries in her own life and helps us see.
