It might almost seem that Judith Early was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was born and raised in rural Alberta in a time and place where her radical views on religion, health and the environment were not welcomed by the conventional conservatism of her community. In the late 1970s she was advocating wheat grass and health food and concepts such as social and environmental responsibility in a town where ham and eggs were staples and the word cholesterol had not yet become part of the language. Now in her late eighties after several decades of writing she has finally found an audience that is ready for her message. Life and Love is the first of her books that she has decided to publish. After reading Life and Love I felt refreshed. Judith Early demonstrates the triumph of the will in the face of adversity and inspiration of the spirit that guides one to that deeper level of reality that exists beyond the pall of linear logical thought. Her poetry reveals both beauty of nature and the spirit of God in harmonious, surprising and inspiring verse that is both skillful and organic like a fine glass of wine to be sipped, savoured and recalled to memory whenever we take the time to slow down and remember. Orpheus, Author of The Seven Secrets of the Ascended Masters
