Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
When her husband asked for a divorce after 25 years of marriage, Rebecca Winn felt untethered physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The security she'd had in her marriage was suddenly replaced by an overwhelming sense of fear, hopelessness, and dread. She felt invisible and alone and was horrified to consider that her deepest longing - to know and be known by another person - might never be realized. But from this fear emerged a powerful desire to answer one of life's most profound questions: How can we ever know another person if we do not truly know ourselves?

This book has given me deep comfort during this uncertain, unprecedented and somewhat isolating time (Covid 19 outbreak, March 2020). The subtitle - Finding Beauty, Grace and Meaning When Things Fall Apart - could not be more fitting for this moment in history. Many around the world are unexpectedly home or *sheltering in place* in order to slow the spread of a virus; creating unexpected unstructured time at home time to read, reflect, recharge, and re-imagine a new normal on the other side of this.
This gorgeous and insightful hero's journey is the story in the form of a collection of essays is what I need and will read again and again. Finding the analogies of nature's resilience reflected in one woman's courageous journey to awaken brings hope and clarity.
A writer's job is to notice. This book warns against looking without noticing. In an age of distraction, Rebecca's work is more urgent than ever. Her keen noticing of beauty, detail, intelligence within nature and how it reflects human resilience and frailty has depth and kindness; grit and grace; purpose and pleasure. The attentiveness Rebecca achieves in her charged journey of aloneness is the soul of this book.
