A biologist who wrote The Forest Unseen, a fantastic book about how Haskell stared at a spot in the forest in Tennessee everyday for a year. He discusses ferns, moss, trees, small animals, and even takes his clothes off for 5 minutes in the middle of winter.
Haskell also wrote The Songs of Trees.
Haskell received his Ph.D. in evolutionary biology at Cornell.
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
