the accolades on the covers:   "grand and dizzying   wondrous marvelous   sublime   mercurial  revelatory  impassioned   urgent  astounding   gorgeous! "

and it is.  All.   these things.  All.   

i gifted self the day to read.    All that i read,  i could read again.   several times .     Just for the PLEASURE of LEARNING and the beauty of the love he has for his Work.   i've  only just begun but already,  everything is different.   

i knew nothing of this Sheldrake,  only his father,  Rupert who with James Lovelock wrote of  the Gaia Hypothesis which was when EveryThing began for me.   the 70's.   here is the son.    how so beauty Full this is.

and maybe even more than we can possibly imagine,  these kinds of Things,   antidotes for the toxins that are arising all around us in these days,  the psychosocial ,   

antidotes.   to strengthen.  to heal the heart wounds.   to  teach  a resilient and  creative world  that nurtures Life in All its brilliant iterations …………..and it's    SCIENCE!  

this is 

Joy.

    so much needs undoing … I read this morning that rainwater in nearly every place on earth is contaminated with human-made chemicals which will take thousands of years to decompose into less toxic compounds

    That little cloth is so beautiful — BEAUTY FULL.
    I have not read this book. The cover is vaguely familiar, though. Perhaps my mother had it. I’m going to see if it’s among the books she left me.
    I caught up from Thursday and I have to say also that some part of me is like you, though I think that that part of me has been packed away and is only in the past decade begun to emerge. I haven’t yet found the words to explain exactly what I mean.

    That cloth!!! It IS everything! And what a pair with the book 🙂
    earth, water, drought story in recent days: 5 sets of human remains have been found in Lake Mead as the waters recede. Creepy. One of them in a barrel, for maybe 40 years, gunshot. How does those bodies decomposing affect the water and life below the surface? Not to mention the folks using that body (pun intended) of water for recreation. sigh.
