Full Moon

Full moon on a crisp, snowy evening. Reading Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology by David Abram. I loved his Spell of the Sensuous. This book explores our own animality and the damage we create when we deny and denigrate animal intelligence. I find myself reading each sentence of Becoming Animal slowly, savoring the earthy details and word play of his prose. He has this admirable ability to write write with the complexity of an academic--the careful balance of nuanced ideas--and the vividness of a great storyteller.
