The Magic of Moss and What it Teaches Us

In Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses, world-renowned botanist/bryologist Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to contemplate the mystery and meaning of life as viewed through her study of one of the world's oldest plant species. This illuminating, award-winning volume of essays weaves scientific and personal observation into a lyrical tapestry that celebrates the power of attentiveness in revealing the sparkle and splendor of the natural world. Rooted in the deep and abiding respect for all living things of her Native American heritage, Kimmerer's observations remind us that when we remain open to the possibility of what the smallest manifestations of life may reveal, we receive the gift of infinite beauty and wonder. Explore the fascinating, magical world and

Be The Change

The next time you're out for a wander pay attention to the moss
growing in the tucked away and in-between places, a crack in the
sidewalk, a damp paving stone, the shady side of a tree. Marvel for a
minute at the cool, shimmering patch of nature -- a humble reminder of
the miracle of life.
