‘A great deal of ecological thought now asks us to take more note of the relationships of interdependency that embed and sustain us, including many too large or small for unaided vision. The interpenetration of these systems raises questions about the boundaries of our selfhood. It is difficult now to think simply in terms of inside and outside, or self and not-self.’ (from the Guardian)

My Notes folders are so voluminous, that when I start to delve into them, as I often do when preparing posts for when I am away, I come across some serendipitous words. These are from a review of Entangled Life, by Merlin Sheldrake, that definitely caught my eye a few years ago. Recently, as we browsed in a bookstore, we chose this book as one to take on our travels – and hopefully we will have had some chances to read it by now.
