“...poems are like trees in this way...poems can be a place to stop and remember that we too are living.“ 🌳💚 💌
pickUsing the nighttime satellite map of the US as a jumping off point, Stark looked for some of the darkest places. He went to 4 of them and here recounts his own travels, some history of those places, and some of the American giants (Muir, Leopold, Thoreau) who helped shape early conservation thought. I really liked this.
I colored this picture and wrote this #haiku about it.

pickIt is hard to quantify the impact the Merlin Tuttle has had on bat research and conservation. A tireless advocate for one of the most diverse mammals on earth, this collection of anecdote from a lifetime of adventures highlights the struggles of conservation, the prejudice against bats in general, and the dangers of researching remote locations. It was interesting to get a look back in time when technology was much more limited.
As it turns out, this is a slower year for sign-ups. Some years are like that. 🐌

pickThis was a lovely introspective memoir about living with depression & using nature as a balm for the soul. He opens up about his struggle with depression & how he found solace in taking nature walks (along with therapy & medication) to get on a healing journey. Each chapter focuses on an aspect in nature & relates to a life experience, while also giving solid facts about each animal or organism. His writing is very lyrical & poetic in the best way
Reminder for my fellow weekend crafters and makers : “...the creative process does not require a product, and sometimes that process produces a failure.“ It's all part of the process! ❤️
