In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e390 pages Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlso recommended:��\u003c\/span\u003eGathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses by Robin Wall Kimmerer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Net loft Watercolor Journaling Book Study Group is currently reading and journaling this book. ��It is an excellent way to process ��and respond in illustration and note taking.
