Summary

In Everything the Light Touches, we meet many travelers. Shai, a young Indian woman who journeys to India's northeast and rediscovers ways of being that realign her. Evelyn, a cambridge student who seeks out the sacred forests of the Lower Himalayas. Linnaeus, botanist and taxonomist, who famously declared "God creates; Linnaeus organizes" and led an expedition to Lapland in 1732. Goethe, who traveled through Italy in the 1780s, formulating his ideas for a revelatory text that called for a reexamination of our propensity to reduce plants -- and the world -- into immutable parts. Everything the Light Touches brings together people and places that seem, at first, removed from each other in time and place. Yet all is resonance, we discover; all is connection
