Susan Tweit began learning this lesson as a young woman diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was predicted to take her life in two to five years. Offered no clear direction for getting well through conventional medicine  Tweit turned to the natural world that was both her solace and her field of study as a plant ecologist. Drawing intuitive connections between the natural processes and cycles she observed and the functions of her body  Tweit not only learned healthier ways of living but also discovered a great truthlove can heal. In this beautifully written  moving memoir  she describes how love of the natural world  of her husband and family  and of life itself literally transformed and saved her own life. In tracing the arc of her life from young womanhood to middle age  Tweit tells stories about what silence and sagebrush  bird bones and sheep dogs  comets  death  and one crazy Englishman have to teach us about living. She celebrates making healthy choices  the inner voices she learned to hear on days alone in the wilderness  the joys of growing and eating an organic kitchen garden  and the surprising redemption in restoring a once-blighted neighborhood creek. Linking her life lessons to the stories she learned in childhood about the constellations  Tweit shows how qualities such as courage  compassion  and inspiration draw us together and bind us into the community of the land and of all living things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964313071669,"sku":"ByrdShop_0292719175","price":30.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780292719170.jpg?v=1770456647","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/walking-nature-home-a-lifes-journey","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
