Read excerpt
Next Sunday, I’ll be in Portugal. After a lifetime of thinking one day I’ll walk the Camino, “ one day” is suddenly next week—and my anxious, introverted, comfort-loving self has a few thoughts about that.

What begins as an ordinary morning of pruning becomes a meditation on grief, renewal, attention, and the wisdom the natural world. The Language of Living Things is a gentle reminder that every season has something to say - if we're willing to listen.
