Some of us have spent our whole lives being strong, being useful, being the one others lean on, and somewhere along the way we forgot how to rest.
Living in a Borrowed World is a gentle, luminous book about remembering. Drawing on her childhood in the rainforests of Suriname and a lifetime spent walking beside others through addiction, grief, and trauma, counselor Margareth Alwart reflects on what the natural world can teach us about being human: that belonging is not something we earn, that safety is not something we perform, and that healing often begins the moment we slow down enough to listen.
This is not a book about mastering nature. It is a book about learning from it, about humility, presence, and the quiet truth that we are not owners of this world but guests within it, here for a little while and held whether or not we believe we deserve it.
For anyone who feels deeply, who senses the world moving too fast, or who is only now learning to trade strength for stillness, these pages offer an invitation: to breathe, to pay attention, and to return to yourself.
Sometimes the greatest wisdom is not found in speaking. It is found in listening.
