Human beings being human, yet nature at the same time
A wonderful book with a gentle and genuine tone of voice about the interdependence of all beings on this Earth. I absolutely appreciate the way the author told us this story in an open, honest, and vulnerable way.
There is so much to be said about this book, for me, the most pressing issue is how timely and yet ever-lasting this important message is in the words of yet another wise woman Vimalasara: 'We don't own the land, the land owns us.'
But of course, Forest Euphoria is about way more than soil. It is about the spores of mushrooms, the sun, air, and a bit of it about human beings being human.
For instance, there is the misconception that when we visit a forest we attend nature, as opposed to nature being all around us. Our garden is nature as well, we are nature as well.
No matter how you identify or feel at any given time, you might feel lonely, you might think you're imperfect, you might experience isolation (raising my hand at all three), this book can be your solace, telling you that you are not exactly alone.
