Field Guide to the Haunted Forest (Haunted Forest Trilogy)

by Jarod K. Anderson

It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature.

You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.

You are not born to this place. You are born of this place.

You can’t think your way out of depression any more than you can think your way out of drowning. Asking for a life-jacket is more important than knowing the physics of buoyancy.

The fossil is the stone’s memory of the bones of the animal.

The universe is an event, not a place. Don’t seek to own. Witness.

Spoiler Alert I

just read ahead to the last page of your life and it turns out that you were always worthy of love and hope and surpassing kindness.
