Reviews
“A beautiful compilation that eloquently links critical academic thought with poetry and art in support of a deep land ethic.”
– Dr. Olivia Sylvester, Head of Environment, Development, and Peace Department at the University for Peace
“I am willing to read this book at least one million times, until it’s incredible spiritual wisdom invades and transforms my entire mind, body and soul. Every chapter has a surprise and a pearl of inner wisdom. This is one of the clearest messages about humanity’s imperatives to enliven our entire human consciousness, individually and collectively. It is the best exposé I have ever read about the unique inner logic emanating from natural law. This is a book about the new path our civilization should follow at this very moment in human history.”
– Alfredo Sfeir-Younis, Ph.D. Director, Strategic Affairs, and Chancellor for Chile, International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP)
“Both lyrical and thought-provoking. The author’s passion for the natural world shines through on every page, as he explores the profound wisdom that can be gleaned from observing the growth and evolution of trees. This makes for a truly unique reading experience, one that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging. I highly recommend “Trees are Bridges to the Sky” to anyone looking for a fresh perspective on the intersection of nature, culture, and the human experience. Whether you are a student of the environment, a lover of poetry, or simply seeking to deepen your connection to the world around you, this book is sure to offer something of value.”
-Jamie Nix, Poet & Author of “Plant Your Words,” Environmental Scientist & Editor at Plants & Poetry
