Wow. Wow. Wow.
If you are looking for a new reason to get yourself out in nature, or a way to deepen your connection to our planet - this beautiful little book is absolutely essential reading. It will leave you looking for every little tuft of moss tucked away in the cracks of pavements & brushing your fingertips over every moss carpet you come across in the forest.
Kimmerer’s words just ooze utter passion & love, the whole book felt like a beautiful love letter to moss - a thankyou for paving the way for life as we know it. I loved how short and snappy the chapters were, yet still completely jam-packed with so much wisdom & knowledge.
I feel like this is the perfect companion for someone wanting to begin their journey into rewilding themselves, and also acts as a reminder of how disconnected we have become from our origins.
I went through nearly every emotion whilst reading this book and the lessons I learned throughout will stay with me for the rest of my life. Robin Wall Kimmerer is now one of those people I will look up to forever and I know I will pass on her knowledge & words to anyone who’ll listen.
