Dawn Light: Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day
Dawn Light: Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day | Diane Ackerman
7 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In an eye-opening sequence of personal meditations through the cycle of seasons, one of our most celebrated storyteller-poet-naturalists awakens us to the world at dawn. Diane Ackerman draws from sources as diverse as meteorology, world religion, etymology, art history, and poetry in order to celebrate that moment in which the deepest arcades of life and matter become visible. From spring in Ithaca, New York, to winter in Palm Beach, Florida, Dawn Light is an impassioned call to revel in our numbered days on a turning earth. A Los Angeles Times Favorite Book, Booklist Editors Choice Award, Spirituality and Practice Best of 2009, Library Corner Best of List, and San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2009.

Parts of this book were super interesting, but I started to get bored of it at the end. I love Diane Ackerman's writing style, but it gets to be a little much sometimes.

"We all died last night , as we do every night. Waking is always a resurrection after what might have been death. What would dawn have been like, had you awakened? It would have sung through your bones. All I can do this morning is let it sing through mine." -Diane Ackerman

The best part about finishing a book is getting to start a new one :) #dianeackerman
