learning is the experience of this book. Reading Walden by Thoreau again last year brought the Thoreau references close to my heart (also 'Henry Working').

a single berry

Revisado: 11-20-24

what I sense is that moment and place where you encounter and thereby experience the berry and the berry plant. you are feeling like being a part of nature.
it's important that the author frames this in our current time, when in 50 years, the earth will no longer be habitable for homo sapiens.

yes we need this book

Revisado: 06-24-23

I was glued, listening almost straight through. imagine yes first life then an environment with an additional life form, then another, all adapting and developing. an ecosystem all connected. Half Earth = there's an answer, or one answer. Hard as it is to get a grip, make progress, take action, hard as that feels, here's a book that can strengthen us.

the future? for earth and for human civilization

Revisado: 06-23-23

I face each day with a heavy heart. my shirt logo says There is No Planet B. Here you read from the view of individuals living it. Seems close to home now. ASAP should be the plan. It is on us; governments. banks, companies are almost immobile in the glaring light of the tipping point which arrived.

ideas for writing

Revisado: 05-01-23

a beautiful book, wonderful narrator. strong visual images of 'place.' 'writing prompts' abound. many 'what to read next' references.

wonderful

Revisado: 04-30-23

and the narrator was so good. The last chapter is a hidden treasure, a road trip of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life that feels hard to resist. Gardening, wildflowers, fields, forests, rocks, streams fill the pages. They filled my heart, even today after almost 50 years of mainly vegetable gardening that expanded to pollinators.

memorable

such is intelligence, of the living world . This is a book much needed. I "grew up canoeing in to camp for 6 weeks on an Adirondack lake", over many summers. The light, freshness, "my world of plants and forests" are ever with me. Until I read this book I'd never known anything about the micro worlds that were there.

a subculture

Revisado: 04-27-23

a history of thought that I , (being a 'back to the land' person coming out of the 60s til today), only followed in passing. now, combined with discoveries in neuroscience and with a digital life, now maybe our eyes are reopened to anything/everything. lots of possible writing prompts for dystopian ideas.
