The way the author talks about their connection to nature is truly evocative and beautiful.  There’s a familial component to it that, at first, was comforting in that you can find a community all around you if you would but care to look.  But then it began to center motherhood and the assumption that if female, you too will be a mother and experience these things, which was unfortunate.  It became a repetitive narrative that dragged itself to the finish line.
