Look at the Birds of the Air

“We have broken the ‘great conversation,’ and we are a lonely species. But still, we long to know and be known by the other-than- human world, to find refuge, to be tied together back into the great web of life. We long to find our voice within the great chorus of being. Perhaps birds might be a way back.”

Teacher and writer Andrew Shamy draws us out into the world to look again with attention, love, and responsibility at the birds of the air. Beautifully crafted, this insightful essay will change the way you see the other-than-human world—and the way you live in the common home you share with all creatures.

Look at the Birds of the Air is a special print essay drawn from Common Ground, Venn Foundation’s digital magazine.
