About the Book

The Art of Life - Creation

An artist knows that to create anything there is always a play off between the light and dark, the bright and dull, the crisp and soft. Each one doesn’t work without the other. Each one makes the other stand and shine.

So it is with life, there are opposites and complimentary, active and passive, giving and receiving. The playoff is exquisitely beautiful, it is exciting and desirable, it is the gift of grace, natures bountiful gift. It is a part of the ultimate act of creation.

We all need the spark to light the fl ame. It is the masculine spark that infl ames the woman and begins the creative processes in her. This enables her to use her natural gifts of procreation, intuition, psyche and tenderness in healing and to energise her man to go out, to hunt, provide and feed her.

She will use her womanly gifts to bring him to exquisite heights of pleasure to seed her. This strengthens the passion to hunt, provide and care for her, and her beloved offspring. She will renew him with her love. He will have all the strength he needs to return back to her to be able once again to spark her and so the process goes on.

It is the eternal beautiful process of creation.

This is how God’s amazing art is created - the art of life - the continuation of life.

The English newspapers had lured her by their adverts to a wonderful new life in the ‘land of golden sands and sunshine’. On arrival Nanette found some differences in the Australian language, amongst other things she learned that ‘shielas’ were girls, a ‘skerrick’ was a little bit and ‘durex’ was sticky tape not a condom! As a hairdresser trained in England, she was highly qualified and awarded many prizes in London and Australia including 1st Prize in the ‘Master Ladies Hairdressing Association’ National Championships, of Australia.
