Beskrivning

The natural world has inspired artists, seekers, and thinkers for millennia, but in recent times, as the pace of life has sped up, its demands have moved us indoors. Yet nature's capacity to lead us to important truths, to invigorate and restore our imagination and equilibrium, is infinite. Step into Naturemakes nature personal again by stimulating awareness and increasing our understanding of the environment. But being in nature doesn't mean flying off to remote, faraway places. Nature is as close as opening your front door-and opening your heart to the sky above, the miniature gardens that push their way up between the sidewalk cracks in our cities, and the small stream just down the road. Patrice Vecchione demonstrates how nature can support and enhance your creative output, invigorate your curiosity, and restore your sense of connection to and love of the earth. Included throughout the book is "The Cabinet of Curiosities," exercises and suggestions for practical and unexpected ways to stimulate your imagination, deepen your relationship with nature, and experience the harmony between creativity and the natural world.

Recensioner i media

"In words carried as lightly in hand as a new-found robin's egg, Patrice Vecchione invites readers into a warm and ranging conversation—one that's held with the natural world and its many plants and creatures, with her own thoughts and life, with an array of the world's great writers, scientists, and artists, and, finally, within their own hearts and minds. Step Into Nature illumines the intimate connection between inner an outer, contemplative and wild, and shows the reasons these connections matter: not only for our survival but because they exhilarate our nights and days on this gorgeous, multiple, fragile and every-changing planet."
