OMG, Stacy! This book sounds fantastic. Just ordered it at my library. I'd love to link to your post in this month's NatureStack, if that's okay w/ you.
It is truly one of my favorites and it can be read quickly with pure enjoyment or with a greater eye to the craft of its simplicity. I like the underlying "truth" of the story which makes many people uncomfortable.
"...I feel so sure about an individual’s relationship with nature that her voice is not just a possibility but a palpable presence."
I absolutely get this surety, and that voice seems to be the central premise of The Bear. In the book the words of Nature's voice are written down so everyone can access it.
Sarah, you bring such warmth to my heart. I read your reply and was like, where did that quote from? Like, who wrote that and I reread the essay... ahh, I did that? Maybe I am learning ...
As it relates to The Bear, we really should spend more time listening.
