SynopsisAfter years of witnessing religious and political unrest in the evangelical church, Lore Ferguson Wilbert felt alienated and disoriented. She found solace in the woods, where she discovered that the forest could teach her how to live-and even thrive-when everything seems to be falling apart. In The Understory, Wilbert explores what we can learn from eroding soil, the decomposition process, the time it takes to grow lichen, the beauty of fiddlehead ferns, the regeneration of self-sowing seeds, and walking through the mud. Among the understory of the forest, Wilbert discovers rich metaphors for living a rooted and flourishing life within the complex ecosystems of our world., A popular writer explores what the forest teaches us about living amid death and decay, helping us examine what's beneath the surface of our long-held beliefs and consider what it means to grieve, remember, and hope., "Walk in the woods with me."That's the invitation award-winning author Lore Ferguson Wilbert extends to readers in The Understory .On this journey, Wilbert shares her story of alienation and disorientation after years of religious and political unrest in the evangelical church. In doing so, she looks to an unlikely place--the forest--to learn how to live and even thrive when everything seems to be falling apart. What can we learn from eroding soil, the decomposition process, the time it takes to grow lichen, the beauty of fiddlehead ferns, the regeneration of self-sowing seeds, and walking through the mud? Here, among the understory of the forest, Wilbert discovers rich metaphors for living a rooted and flourishing life within the complex ecosystems of our world. Her tenderness and honesty will help readers grieve, remember, hope, and press on with resilience.
