Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land by N. Scott Momaday

4.0

"The earth gives us many things that strengthen and heal us. Even the bare ground upon which we walk is good for our well-being." Momaday's language is similar to the way I heard many adults speak when I was young. Even the way the book is comprised of just short stories and poem-like pages, it's how my parents sometimes tell stories to this day. Even now, my mother tells me that I need to come home when I am not well or my mind and body won't settle down. I am stressed and anxious about everyday things and she doesn't like me to be in that state, so she always advises me to come home and "let the earth heal you." This book may not be for everyone and that is ok, but if you are openminded to other people's unconventional thought process, then take a dive.
