Nature Note

The Love of Nature - Well-being

Happy Autumn! It arrived yesterday at 3:20 p.m. EST in the northern hemisphere. The Autumn Equinox is one of two days during the year when daytime and nighttime are almost equal everywhere on earth. It marks a time of preparation. The harvest season is here; a time of food gathering and preparation for the long nights and winter months ahead. It is often a time of reflection as well... the lengthening evenings provide more time for reading, conversations, and music during the dark quiet hours before bedtime.

Book cover of Nature, Love, Medicine Essays on Wildness and Wellness

So, for this Nature Note I am recommending a book that is perfect for dipping into during this season when nature shares her bounty with us. What does nature mean to you?

Nature, Love Medicine is a collection of essays whose writers reflect on their love of and need for nature. It will help you explore your feelings about nature and perhaps open up a new way of experiencing and appreciating all our earthly kin.
