“It’s because there’s joy to be found in carrying on.” -Some review

A very melancholy meditation on connectedness in nature. Moving, sad, did bring me to tears. Lightly beautiful but not breathtaking. Lyrical. A little boring; it wandered around in a mood but never made much of a concerted point. I might have DNF’d if it weren’t so short. The spare style and brief length was much better than something like Overstory, which I could barely start. 
The father’s death (?of tetanus) was very predictable. I did not enjoy the descriptions of animal death.
