“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
I had such a hard time putting this one down. This book was an enlightening combination of personal experience, creation stories, and nature writing, all grounded in our necessary relationship with the earth and its creatures. The writing was beautiful and poetic, and I highly recommend.
