The hardest thing of all to see is what is really there.
J.A. Baker, author of The Peregrine
“Having these kinds of experiences of nature gives us a way to get outside of the self and our preoccupation with the self in a way that really is the path to kind of authentic wisdom. This really is like integrating these kinds of practices of learning to see the world around you anew with, like, an active effort to break through your own programming.”
Christopher Brown is a lawyer, science fiction novelist,
and author of the non-fiction book
