Phosphorescence: On Awe, Wonder And Things That Sustain You When The World Goes Dark

In this wise and inspiring book, Julia Baird reflects on her encounters with phosphorescence, a luminescent phenomenon found in the natural world, and how she was able to cultivate her own 'inner light' in the face of suffering and illness.When we spend time in nature, humble ourselves to the mystery of the world, and recognise the 'soothing power of the ordinary', we are engaging in phosphorescence.

It is these experiences that sustain us, help us place one foot in front of the other and cultivate our own essential light when the world goes dark. A rich and luminous meditation on navigating periods of adversity, Julia's intimate study of phosphorescence contains hard-won wisdom for these unprecedented times.
