Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm reading "Savage Gods" by Paul Kingsnorth, one of my favorite non-fiction writers (Rebecca Solnit is my fave).  It's so honest, soulful and deep that I'm blown away by almost every paragraph.  I bought three more copies today and gave one to my younger son, will send one to my older daughter, and give one tomorrow to my dear friend and fellow Buddhist.  He's an eco-environmentalist, and my friend and I heard him speak a couple of years ago.  I've read two other of his books, and for a person just over forty, he is so wise.  He is English but has lived in Ireland the last few years, off the grid for the most part, out in the countryside and living with his wife and two children.  His description of the writing life is one of the best I've ever encountered.  His concern for this earth we inhabit is passionate and loving.  His descriptions of trees and birds and the land is Whitmanesque.  This book is a treasure.
