Every page reveals some new delight, expanding the reader's capacities for creativity, empathy, accountability, and joy. I found myself wishing for more hours in the day to read this book: once I picked it up, it was impossible to put down. Readers feel guided by the wisdom of someone who's spent a lifetime paying close attention to everything that deepens our connection to each other and ourselves. All of this is animated by nature's presence: the mystery and wonders of Earth surge from her prose."" - Dr. Jennifer Atkinson, author of Gardenland and The Existential Toolkit for Climate Justice Educators ""In a world where our daily lives seem so fast tracked to result, performance and achievement, the beauty of this book is the invitation to slow down and turn inwards.
