Small Things by Anne Markham Bailey

The death of a turtle in the road forces Ann Markham Bailey to reflect on the tenuous relationship between humans and nature, while also celebrating the wisdom and beauty of the humble turtle. Anne believes that turtles carry the stories that we don’t remember in our headlong rush for tomorrow. After the reading Anne discusses her devotion to the forests of Alabama, forest therapy (it’s a thing), and killing the ‘killing voice’ inside you.
