## Resource

With his signature joy, Irish author and naturalist Dara McAnulty praises the arrival of curlew song in spring, emerging emperor dragonflies, feet crunching on fallen leaves, and the sweeping flight of a barn owl on a midsummer evening. This ode to experiencing the seasons as a natural flowing of one's being—rather than a backdrop of abstract phenomena—shows us how when the body is in relation with the land, our sense of self can soften back into belonging with Earth.
