Your Wild and Precious Life: On Grief, Hope and Rebellion by Liz Jensen

5.0

This memoir is more than a narrative about grief. It's an exploration of the numinous and the spiritual, of life and love after death. I thought this was going to be about the grief and the climate, but at some point, Jensen's experiences of the transcendent starts to come through to the forefront. This is a comforting and hopeful book for those who have experienced devastating loss.

the Wild and my new sense of the numinous have taught me more than I ever knew, or could imagine knowing, before my kairos moment struck.

Perhaps it’s what Icarus knew, as he fell from the sky.

All of it is richer. All of it is stranger.

All of it matters.
