Mary Webb and the Joy of Motion
Mary Webb, an English writer of the early 20th century was an acute
observer of nature and her multi-dimensional splendor.Diagnosed with
Graves' disease at the age of 20, Webb soon discovered that nature
played a powerful role in her periods of recovery. 'The Spring of
Joy'compiles a series of essays on nature, penned by Webb with the aim
of bringing comfort to'the weary and wounded in the battle of life.'
They are a testament to one woman's capacity to bear witness to the vast
record of nature and to draw nourishment from it that continues to
benefit readers far beyond her lifetime. The following is an excerpt
from The Spring of Joy: A Little Book of Healing.
