Reviews"Reading this book is like walking down a winding path; one never knows what's around the bend a succulent blueberry, a rattlesnake? Be prepared for continual surprises: wisdom, beauty, sometimes a burst of mirth. You will enjoy the depth of its reflections on life, youth, death, and nature."

SynopsisSam Keen, the New York Times best-selling author of Fire in the Belly , has spent a lifetime reflecting on nature. In Sightings , a collection of essays, bird watching forms the basis for observations spiritual and soulful, witty and wise. He describes his childhood ramblings in the silence of the Tennessee wilderness as feeling distinctly more spiritualthan the hard pews of his grandmother's church. Later in life, the presumed extinction and subsequent rediscovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker prompts a meditation on the nature of the sacred. Blessed with moments of beauty and the insight to recognize them as such,Keen translates the marvels of nature into the language of heart and soul., Sam Keen, the New York Times best-selling author of Fire in the Belly , has spent a lifetime reflecting on nature.

Buy this book and be charmed
This is an endearing, lovingly written book. You need not read it straight through, but can pick it up and set it down and pick it up again and be charmed every time. I appreciated the spiritual element to it a great deal. This book is a wonderful way to rekindle your private awe and wonder in the quotidian. Seller was great, book was in as advertised condition. Highly recommend.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
