This quarter, we have two different reads to choose from:-"Lessons From Nature: Finding Wisdom in the World Around Us" by Wadih Moussa
-"Is a River Alive?: A Journey with Water" by Robert Macfarlane
Lessons From Nature invites readers to discover the timeless wisdom found in the natural world. Each chapter reflects on a value or principle rooted in everyday encounters with nature — from patience and humility to kindness and endurance. Through photography and thoughtful writing, this book offers a gentle reminder that life’s greatest lessons often arrive quietly, if only we pause long enough to notice.
Is a River Alive? is a joyful, mind-expanding exploration of an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people, stories and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada — imperiled, respectively, by mining, pollution and dams.
Join us to discuss these books and offer your own insights! No worries if you don’t read both books or don’t finish one or both of them before the meeting.
Note: if you register but then are unable to attend, please let us know so that we may accommodate other interested readers.
