A more beautiful world lies quietly waiting in every heart.

—from the introduction to Wild Hope
- Meister Eckhart
Gathering the insights of field biologists and poets, conservationists and storytellers ancient and present, I try to create word pictures of our animal kin that convey what mystic Meister Eckhart told us about them 700 years ago: “Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God. Every creature is a word of God.” When we look with wonder at the creatures of Earth, windows open onto the divine.
–Fyodor Dostoyevsky
