The Earth Still Turns is an eclectic collection of world views by six women who write of the joys, doubts, mysteries, humor, and grief encountered in life-and of the courage and strength that help us survive. They recall being poised on the edge of expectation, of finding joy in changing seasons, ...of warm love, cold hearts, family secrets, If you don't talk about it, it didn't happen. ...of a woman, beginning to dwell on death, comforted by the memory of following her daddy, stepping in his footprints as he plowed...regrets of unsatisfied aspirations, the shades of time are drawn with sighs ...on aging, He's lost the tales he once told ...of fighting fears, She stays inside now trusting the roof to keep her grounded. ...of goodbyes, as you breathe more lightly, ready to shed your tired body. ...and of how we go on, just as if the earth is still turning
