Flight of the Hummingbird: A Parable for the Environment
by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Wangari Maathai , Dalai Lama XIV
by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Wangari Maathai , Dalai Lama XIV
This book is so short, it qualifies almost more as a poem--and is equally beautiful.
Lushly illustrated, each of the 5 short chapters speaks eloquently to social and environmental responsibility. While this may sound dry or preachy, it is neither. The beauty of the book is matched by the precise writing involved in each of the 5 short chapters, the message therein.
The parable of the hummingbird, how such a small and seemingly insignificant creature, could take on a forest fire serves as a jumping off point for brief discussions, thoughtful musings, about how each one of us need not forget the power in simply trying to change our world (or our situation) for the better.
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Wangari Maathai and HH the Dalai Lama each contribute to this wonderful little book.
