My favorite book at 8 and 33

This story asks the reader to feel the inner connectedness between nature and people. The poetry illustrates the history the earth leaves behind makes us what we are today. The descriptions of the landscape and the fossils encourages the exploration of the awesomeness of nature. The story reminds that civilization is not real but that nature is enduring, and that everyone shares this. The evidence of this shared past is a fossil and then later, it comes from the imagination. There is a pride in witnessing nature and understanding the inner connectedness of the world.
