Upstream: Selected Essays by Mary Oliver
4.75
inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing slow-paced

Humility is the prize of the leaf world, and this book is the prize of ours. To stop, to reflect, to find solace in nature the way Mary Oliver does is most certainly bound to temper down the cruelest person . Resonating with your home, watching it change, and still being hopelessly in love with the world around you—I have a lot to learn from nature and its blessings but with this book I have embarked on the beginning of that journey.
