"Whatever is held and listened to will show us where it lives in the world and in us." --Mark Nepo
Nature, Joy and Human Becoming
"The sudden passionate happiness which the natural world can occasionally trigger in us," Michael McCarthy writes, "may well be the most serious business of all." He is a naturalist and journalist, and this is his delightful and galvanizing call that we can stop relying on the immobilizing language of statistics and take up our joy in the natural world as our civilizational defense of it. With a perspective equally infused by science, reportage, and poetry, he reminds us that the natural world is where we evolved, where we found our metaphors and similes, and it is the resting place for our psyches.
BE THE CHANGE
Step outside today and contemplate that what you lay eyes on is "who" you are in a deep way. Live the rest of your day as "wildlife".
