This book took a while longer. It's the kind of book that shifts your mind in gentle ways with each sentence you read. I usually take a break after every chapter, hoping their lessons sink in that day.

Reminders in an ever abstracting world to not only look forward, but back, and around us. Our teachers have come before, and are here right now. Nature, expressed in forgotten poetry—captivating stories only if we listen.

It's a lovely book.
