Description

Experience a year immersed in the healing power, adventure, and tranquility of the natural world, on sixteen acres of wild land in Southern Ontario, Canada.

With personal vignettes and color photographs that track the seasons of a single year, Infinite Paradise connects readers with the wildlife on sixteen acres of forest and water meadow along the Conestoga River in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Broken into seasons and then further into months and days, the book focuses on the buoyancy of life, showing readers that in a world battered by global warming, habitat destruction, and species extinction, many riches still remain. Interacting with nature can combat stress, heal the human spirit, and foster new and calming perspectives on life.

As Infinite Paradise illustrates, the complexity, beauty, and power of the natural world is available to any reader who stays open to the splendid lifeforms they live among.

Reviews

There is a meditative stillness in Dianne Ebertt BeeaffsInfinite Paradise, Witnessing the Wild. This, together with a deep respect for the nobility of nature, makes her book a contemplation on our earthly paradise using a fine filigree of words.Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author ofToSpeak for the Trees

Part almanac, thisuniquely personal record of natures seasonal changes on a patch of Canadian land the authors mother called Paradise is lyrical prose, the product of an observant eye, an inquisitive mind, and a poetic soul. It has a permanent spot on my bookshelf.Sharon Byford-Ruth author ofThe Arabian: A Guide for Owners
