The Variablity of Time,
By Applezel (NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unequal Hours: Moments of Being in the Natural World (Hardcover)
Everyone knows how time seems to fly when you are having fun or drags when you are bored or in an unpleasant place. Clearly, our experience of time is a relative thing. Linda Underhill captures this sense of varable time in her lovely essays set in the quiet hours of the natural world. All of the essays are skillfully written but one of the most beautiful describes Moss Lake, a kettle lake in Allegany County in western New York. Among the sundews and pitcher plants, she carries us into the watery web of ancient glacial-formed lakes and helps us understand how the icy past is the groundwork on which the present biophilia stands. There are moments of such breathtaking grace in the essays that they act as stillpoints. Yet we are always aware of the dynamic nature of the natural world.
