And it's a very personal, sensual account of her deep relation to the land and attenuation to all its facets.
Everything from the moving of water, the singing of water, the freezing of water.
the shape of rock, the darkness, the feel of heather under bare feet.
She embraces the entire thing and sees the entire range as being one giant mountain.
And it's a love song, but it's more than that.
It's actually... Why it rings so powerfully is it's what we all need to do, which is re-attenuate to the land and the air that we breathe and the land that holds us up and the water that sustains us.
She's entirely in step with this landscape and it's the most...
compelling um she doesn't poeticize she's spare in her language and her emotional giving she doesn't overwhelm you with her emotional response it's a more carefully and long it's it's it's taken over time it's not a snapshot with emotions poured on top it's a slow slowly wrought over experiential
She's sort of made these very spare.
It's like Muir.
It's as intense as John Muir, the famous Scottish naturalist who moved to America and founded the first national park in Yosemite.
So it has this, I wouldn't say religiosity, I'd say sensuality, but this care for all things and seeing the sort of the bigger picture.
So, yeah, it's a very short book.
You can probably read it in, you know, an afternoon.
And we have a clip.
I mean, Tilda's amazing as well.
So hats off to Tilda.
What a great choice.
I haven't ever heard that before.
Wonderful.
