ferineThe Peridot Path: Trees Of Southeast Asia, by Joyce Chng, is a nifty little gem at 26 pages. The book provides insight into the Singaporean author's sense of her native trees. Her love for, and understanding of, the trees and their deep spiritual being, is apparent not only in her personal recollection and accounts of various trees, but also in her vibrant photography peppered throughout.
Along with reflections of the author, there is also an esoteric element. A series of southeast Asian trees are given correspondences with north, west, south, and east. Subsequent information on each, and why each resonates with a particular direction, is given at length; as are proposed meditations.
Previously, I was ignorant when it came to trees native to Singapore. It was lovely to experience them vicariously through the author's words, and through the lovely photos.
On a personal note thanks for the nod, babe.
