"To see things in the seed, that is genius," teaches Lao Tzu. My first spirit seeds were harvested somewhere in a field of Chinese sunflowers, against a backdrop of the Himalayan Mountains. Nature spoke to me. And I listened. An excerpt taken from this travel memoir catalogues the experiences of a single female traveling throughout Mainland China and into Tibet. In particular, the selections for tonight?s reading examine the ways in which "the sublime" reveals itself best in the hands and work of nature and through her staggering landscapes as well as her cycle of creation and destruction, a cycle which mirrors the human landscape and experience.

This event is part of Belmont University's Eighth Annual Humanities Symposium, which this year is centered on the concept Nature and the Human Spirit. Be sure to check out the long program schedule and short program schedule.
