This book is brimming with evidence that the natural world is our ever-renewing teacher. Cheryl Wilfong helps us see it's possible not to bring suffering on ourselves just because the weather is inconvenient or unexpected. The weather reminds us of the value of surrender, the reality that we are not in control. Cheryl's lovely and always fresh metaphors invite the reflective reader to see the parallels between the growing-and-dying world and the evolving world within.
