ALONG THE COSMIC MEAN
Along The Cosmic Mean, is a meditative look into the life and spirit of a young woman navigating the human experience through farming. The book is a series of moments tied together through their relationship with the elemental forces that build the natural world. Mixing science, art, and poetry, author Darby Weaver explores the physical and energetic mechanics of ecosystems and lays these moving parts like tracing paper over the personal growth she experiences growing food in a valley in the Appalachian Mountains.
Seeing the ebbs and flows of wilderness as a complex mirror of the human soul, Darby brings the cosmos down from their perch and the minerals up from their depths and uses the biological world to weave together a story of what it means to be an imperfect human being on Earth.
