Dawning . . .
"STILL KEEPING HER MYSTICAL AIR, Judith writes her life-story in a more straight forward manner than in her memoir 'THE LIGHT TREE JOURNAL.' This book, ‘DAWNING . . .’ is a chronological autobiography written as a flowing and gripping narrative alive with effervescent youthful joy. Commencing with the hardest grief she has ever had to bear, her story leads swiftly through her years of adventuring on the high seas in small sailing yachts: stories of shipwreck and the building of a new boat upon tropical beaches; ‘on the high tide line, actually, in Dakar, West Africa beneath seven coconut trees,’ she writes. And from there the successful but terrifying crossing of the Atlantic Ocean to South America, in the new 34 ft beach-built sail boat; and at the voyage's end, in Florida, USA, starting all over again, building a 61 ft Chinese junk-rigged two masted schooner."But the greatest adventure story you’ll find in this book, stems from her watershed life-changing encounter with Love, from which her life completely alters course; from then on sailing under a new captaincy. With exquisite detail and extraordinary insight, Judith shares with us her venturing on new uncharted seas into the unknown with Love; and, through her writing, into the hearts of all who read her tale. Her outer life soon expands, also, and develops into marriage and children and a settled homeschooling lifestyle, along with more adventuring in the heavenlies. Concluding with a painful but wonderful overcoming of a severe inner illness, through which she is taught those things that one can only learn through suffering."DAWNING . . . is Judith's first book; and it once began with an apology that the manuscript was still in its original virgin state; immersed in its first lively joy with which she wrote it. With exclamation marks(!!) and italics appearing rather too frequently in free happy abandon! Properness is not always the best policy. The zest of life can easily be lost in prudence. That comes afterwards." - J. R, Fynn
