Synopsis

The moon is out, the air has cooled, and you are ready for bed. You know that scrolling on your phone does not draw you toward sleep but adds to your worries. So power down your phone, take a breath, and begin to dim the day. Research suggests that we should refrain from screens at bedtime. But it can be hard to give up social media and news without something to take its place. In these pages, author Jennifer Grant offers gentle meditations that help you direct your gaze away from screens and uncertainties and toward the natural world. Dimming the Day guides you to focus on the wonders of God's good earth, from the ordinary head of a dandelion to the exquisite beauty of a fractal. Replace anxiety with awe, distraction with focus, and worry with true rest. Calm your mind and settle into stillness.

Goodreads review by Katrina on February 08, 2022

While the premise of being in awe of nature was great and some of the information I learned was fascinating, this collection of 20 meditations on nature was riddled with woke language and mystic spiritualism.
