Beskrivning
In 1998 Tim and Lucia Amsden left their familiar lives in Kansas City and moved to the Ramah Valley in northwestern New Mexico, where they lived for the next two decades. Love Letter to Ramah recounts their experiences there, nestled among an eclectic and diverse community of loving, earth-rooted people. It is an evocation of the rich human and natural history permeating the area and of the importance - central to the traditional beliefs of Indigenous people - of living in concert with the living earth.Living in that place and within that community gave Tim and Lucia a profound and visceral understanding of our need to move the fragile blue marble of our earth back into balance. Just as important, it enhanced their awareness that we must shift ourselves into acknowledgement of and respect for our global community. It also gave them a firm belief that those things are indeed possible.

Recensioner i media

“A book of gentle wisdom and quiet inspiration. . . . If you want to understand both the land and the culture of northern New Mexico, you couldn’t find a better source.”—Glenn Aparicio Parry, author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again “Tim Amsden reveals a deep sense of the land and lore of that patch of paradise presently known as New Mexico, and he presents the reader with a wide range of insights into the nature of the ecology, cultural diversity, deep history, and exquisite beauty of the Southwest.”—Jack Loeffler, author of A Pagan Polemic: Reflections on Nature, Consciousness, and Anarchism “Amsdsen’s stories illustrate how his time in the Ramah area cultivated his deep sense of place and rekindled his belief in the sustaining power of a diverse human community. I highly recommend it as an introduction to this beautiful portion of the American Southwest and a heartwarming read for those of us still open to awe and connection.”—Carla R. Van West, former director of research, SRI Foundation
