That
we humans can experience a joyful and peaceful existence by
simply learning to observe, listen, and appreciate wildness
anywhere we find it is gracefully demonstrated and poignantly
voiced by author Joni L. James in Dancing With Herons:
Bearing Witness To Local Natural History. I highly recommend
that you read this book, follow her example, and learn to pause,
look, and listen to naturefind your own local wilderness. Pat

.
. . Her love and understanding of the natural world is evident as
she shares her thoughts with the reader. She has found the world
of nature close to home in an unexpected, man-made place. Ms.
James tempts us with glimpses of life surrounding her ponds.
Reading her concise snippets leaves me wanting to join her on a
misty morning to inhale the essence of the ponds she loves so
dearly. . .The book is well worth reading.

If
the messages delivered by writers like Aldo Leopold, Edwin Way
Teale, Gene Stratton-Porter, Terry Tempest Williams, and Scott
Russell Sanders resonate with you, you ought to read Dancing
With Herons, an intimate chronicle of outdoor experiences from
the personal journals of new author Joni L. James.

Dancing
With Herons. . .connected me to the wilderness we all need
to observe with its amazing sights, sounds and aromas. The book
has no photographs but the author's descriptive writing places you
there, in the now of each adventure. I highly recommend this
book for that very reason! I agree with Ada. A little book
with a big message!
