Interwoven among the practical advice are profound spiritual and contemplative inquiries as he reflects on nature and the invaluable lessons she has to offer if we are open to listening. TJ writes, "Perhaps the only things that truly matter in the end are love and the deep connections we have forged. This book serves as an invitation to cherish both the natural world and ourselves.
