Went to the local silent reading again. Read the first 100 pages of Robert Mac Farlane's "is a river alive". Of course, the answer is a resounding yes, but in our world, one has to write 400 pages to make the case (beautiful prose), and yet you'll probably have a hard time convincing those who see nature and all around just as resources in service of us.

Yearning for several days of this and going through my tsundoku. I read somewhere that one shouldn’t feel guilty about unread books, that it’s like collecting wine. Each book is just waiting for the right time, place, and mood in your life to be opened.

Picked this pamphlet up from my local police department. Is this up to date material or is there a gigantic knowledge gap that needs to be filled yesterday?
