Herons, sparrows, owls and kingfishers flit across the page in meditations on love, artistry and impermanence. Whether considering a bird's nest, the seeming patience of oak trees or the paintings of Franz Marc, the author reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments. This book asks what it truly means to belong to this world and to live in it attuned to all its changes.
