This stunning collection of essays was a delight to read. Kathleen Dean Moore is a philosophy professor, nature lover, and wife to a biologist. Moving fluidly from Oregon (her main home) to her Alaskan cabin and some exotic locals elsewhere her essays mix personal experience with deeply compelling reflections on death, the cycles of the earth, wild life and our human weaknesses.
takes you on a journey with Moore and her family that you want to continue past the end of the book. After a series of close ones in her life dying she took to journey of the artist deep inside to find some sense of solace. Bittersweet mixed with the simple rhythms of nature; while Moore's spiritual side is practically agnostic she touches on the mysterious and magical of the outdoors and our unmistakable connection to it.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for comfort based in the falling of snow, the habits of birds or the currents of the ocean.
