Rooted in Wonder : A Field Guide to Everyday Spirit

This book is a gentle invitation to pause and notice the richness of everyday life. In a world driven by speed and distraction, it offers small, grounding rituals—like standing barefoot in the rain or whispering a morning intention—to reconnect with nature, self, and others. Drawing from decades of personal stories, early walks, and heartfelt moments, the book provides low-tech, accessible practices that support mindfulness, resilience, and heart-centered communication. Organized like a trail map, each entry stands alone yet flows together, blending reflection, science, and poetry. Whether you're a parent seeking deeper rituals, a teacher exploring nature-based activities, or simply someone craving meaning amid the noise, this book reminds you that awe, clarity, and presence are always within reach. No rules or sermons—just open-hearted nudges to reclaim your attention, soften your days, and step back into rhythm with the natural world. It’s a practical, poetic guide to coming home to what matters.
