    GREEN LAP, BROWN EMBRACE, BLUE BODY:
    THE ECOSPIRITUALITY OF ALICE WALKER
    by Pamela A. Smith Alice Walker's Earth is a womanist goddess of many colors. PAMELA A. SMITH is Director of Lay Ministry Programs for SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary and author of What Are They Saying about Environmental Ethics? (Paulist, 1977). In The Color Purple, Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, the blues singer Shug is the sassy, sensual, bounteous woman who awakens the brutalized and silenced Celie to her own strength and sexuality. With loving song and tender touch, she opens Celie to her own loveliness and possibility and reveals a God who is not the "big and old and tall and graybearded and white" stern codger of Celie's old-time religion but, instead, an expansive God of trees, air, birds, people an erotic God who "love all them feelings," who "love everything you love," and "love admiration. . . . just wanting to share a good thing." This same Shug reappears in The Temple of My Familiar as matriarch and high priestess of the academic-turned-masseuse Fanny's womanist religion. Fanny, the granddaughter of Celie, propagates "The Gospel According to Shug," a series of twenty-seven macarisms, beatitudes, which all begin "Helped are those who. . ." Fanny elaborates these maxims of "Mama Shug" into a womanist ethic of inner strength, generosity, resistance, inclusiveness, prayer, laughter, and love of stranger, Earth, and cosmos. She also willingly provides a summary, the

    Alice Walker "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens"
    I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.

      God 'Mama'
      'The Color Purple' author talks about her meditation practice, doing the world good, and how a feminine God is everywhere. Interview by Valerie Reiss
      Alice Walker has always known God. But she prefers terms like "Godness" and "Mama" to describe the divine—for her, it is everywhere, from the Japanese maples outside her window to the slow yoga she practices. Though her seven novels, including 1982's Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Color Purple," and many essays and poems have myriad themes—from feminism to race to class to love—a palpable sense of Mama's richness runs throughout. As well as fiery resistance to any force that attempts to control or contain this juicy, abundant, and ever-present divine.
      In her most recent book, a collection of political, spiritual, and personal talks, essays, and meditations, "We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Inner Light in a Time of Darkness," she calls "The Color Purple," a "Buddha book that's not Buddhism." Recently, the 63-year-old author talked to Beliefnet about meditation, activism, and how we can all bless ourselves anytime, anywhere.

    Letter from Alice Walker to President Clinton
    Alice Walker March 13, 1996 President Bill Clinton
    The White House
    Washington, D.C. Dear President Clinton: Thank you very much for the invitation to the White House while I was in Washington in January. I am sorry circumstances made it impossible for us to meet. I was looking forward to experiencing the symbolic seat of North American government in a new way. In the past, I have only picketed the White House, and as a student walking up and down the street outside it. I used to wonder what might be inside. It seemed to be made of cardboard, and appeared empty and oppressive, remote from the concerns of a few black students-and their courageous white teacher-from the deep South. The first protest I joined that picketed the White House was a Hands Off Cuba rally in 1962. I was eighteen. It was very cold, snow and sleet everywhere. Our hands and feet and heads were freezing as we trudged in circles, shouting slogans to keep our minds off our misery and to encourage each other. Amazingly, someone from the President's office sent hot coffee out to us. The compassionate gesture humanized the president and the White House for me, and made it possible for me to feel a connection that I would not otherwise have felt. When President Kennedy was assassinated, and my whole school wept, it was of those warming sips of coffee that I thought. I love Cuba and its people, including Fidel. The bill you have signed to further tighten the blockade hurts me deeply. I travel to Cuba whenever I can to take medicine and the small, perhaps insignificant comfort of my presence, to those whose courage and tenderness have inspired me practically my entire life.

    "The DVD, I think, is really special because you have some additions to the film itself that I think will really help people see how much commitment went into creation of the film," Walker said in recent interview with SeeingBlack.com and other journalists. "I think that there were a lot of questions early on about how it was made. And a lot of those questions will be answered. And I think that it will be lovely for people to just see what a family we created on the set." When it was published in 1982, "The Color Purple" raised a stir in the Black community because of its depiction of a brutal and soul-less Black man who abused his young wife Celie in the rural South. At the time, the book's portrayals of Black men, described as "often negative" by Mel Watkins in the

    Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
    1. The bemused black women for whom a creative, witty, and compassionate union with the universe is as natural as breathing. 2. The volcanic forces that go into the creative life and work of a heroine like the narrator. See her account of her encounter with Bessie Smith. 3. The theft of black music by white musicians who do not understand what they are performing.
    Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions
    The narrative voice in this story is deceptively informal and uneducated. Gracie Mae Still is in fact extremely subtle and sophisticated. The reader must put aside assumptions about her speech and learn from her on her own terms.

    Bio courtesy the Alice Walker-Womanist Writer website
    Alice Malsenior Walker was born on February 9, 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and youngest child of Minnie Tallulah Grant Walker and Willie Lee Walker. Her parents were poor sharecroppers but wealthy of spirit and love. Her father's great-great-great grandmother Mary Poole was a slave forced to walk from Virginia to Georgia with a baby in each arm. Her mother's grandmother Talluhah was mostly Cherokee Indian . Alice is deeply proud of her cultural inheritances. In the summer of 1952 while playing "cowboys and indian" with her brothers (Alice was the Indian with bow and arrow in hand), she was blinded in her right eye by a BB gun pellet. Alice was self-conscious of the large white scar tissue left in her eye. When she was 14 years old her brother Bill had the "cataract" removed for Alice by a doctor in Boston, but her vision never returned. After graduating high school in 1961 (she was her school's valedictorian and prom queen that year), Alice left home to attend

    by Alice Walker
    I will wait for her in the yard that Maggie and I made so clean and wavy yesterday afternoon. A yard like this is more comfortable than most people know. It is not just a yard. It is like an extended living room. When the hard clay is swept clean as a floor and the fine sand around the edges lined with tiny, irregular grooves, anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house.
    Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe. She thinks her sister has held life always in the palm of one hand, that "no" is a word the world never learned to say to her.
    You've no doubt seen those TV shows where the child who has "made it" is confronted, as a surprise, by her own mother and father, tottering in weakly from backstage. (A pleasant surprise, of course: What would they do if parent and child came on the show only to curse out and insult each other?) On TV mother and child embrace and smile into each other's faces. Sometimes the mother and father weep, the child wraps them in her arms and leans across the table to tell how she would not have made it without their help. I have seen these programs.
    Sometimes I dream a dream in which Dee and I are suddenly brought together on a TV program of this sort. Out of a dark and soft.seated limousine I am ushered into a bright room filled with many people. There I meet a smiling, gray, sporty man like Johnny Carson who shakes my hand and tells me what a fine girl I have. Then we are on the stage and Dee is embracing me with tears in her eyes. She pins on my dress a large orchid, even though she has told me once that she thinks orchids are tacky flowers.
