I would also like to mention I listened to this book while doing a big driving tour of Eastern Montana during Covid for an article I was writing. Out in the middle of that vast place, Safina, who also reads the audio version, delivered the quote I mentioned just as I passed a sign for "Beauty Creek." It was quite a serendipitous moment. I pulled off the road and listened and listened to the line until I made sure I had it right in my notebook.
Reading this was the perfect way to start my morning! Now I’m ready to spring from bed and step out into the beauty of the world. Thank you!
I'm so glad, Lisa! May beauty enfold you.
One of my favorite quotes: "The world appears beautiful so that the living may love being alive in it.” — Carl Safina
... from his book, Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace.

Right by Beauty Creek. Priceless! Here’s to loving being alive.
