This was wonderful. Friend Kat said it was revolutionary and I agree with them - a nature book written entirely in the animals' world, instead of seeing their world through human eyes, creates an entirely new kind of empathy. This had the same effect as mindfulness for me - the gorgeous feeling of, OH! The world is so much bigger and varied than my own lens. So much more interesting and magical than I could ever experience in one lifetime. What a peaceful feeling.
There was a LOT of research crammed in. It's better to go in and let it flow through you instead of trying to hold on to any particular bit. You won't remember everything. There's too much. But you WILL remember the feeling of, ah, OK, life is so much more than this. ✨
