just did a deep dive in my mind to recall this author, Byrd Baylor. i read her books when i was living in massachusetts and really becoming in tune with the natural worlds rhythms. her works, “everyone needs a rock” and “the way to start a day” stick with me. the illustrations by Peter Parnall are equally wonder-filled and wonder-filling. i want all of their books!!!!

On Listening

The old man said, "Most people never hear those things at all."

I said, "I wonder why."

He said, "They just don't take the time you need for something that important."

—Excerpt from ‘The Other Way To Listen’ by Byrd Baylor + Peter Parnall
