So charming, so earnest, and also so educational--just the right amount of each.

I will embarrass myself if she ever joins one of the birding walks we go to in a near-ish-to-her (but nearer to us) in the Hudson Valley state park. "JOE LIES"

Lili Taylor feels like a kindred spirit. 

Here are some lovely quotes I keep thinking about, and that I fully relate to:

“There is a universe in Bryant Park that I can tap into whenever I want. After rehearsal that day, as I approached the stairs to the subway, the park was no longer a green blur. I knew two things in that park now: the catbird, the viburnum. I descended the steps, about to be transported to another place, Brooklyn. As I waited for the train, standing directly underneath the park, maybe even under the catbird, I felt steady on the ground beneath me and aware of the ground above me.”

“All the green things around me now are somethings. I know I can stand anywhere among living things, connected to things that are connected to other things. I’m in a net holding me to the catbird, to the viburnum, the caterpillar, the butterfly, the sun.”

So many surprising things about the birds in my backyard. Taylor’s reading is excellent and her writing strikes just the right balance between beginner and expert.
