Tao of Nature: Earthway's Wisdom of Daily Living from Grandmother Earth

by Mary Summer Rain

From the bestselling author of Earthway comes a collection of thoughtful and inspiring essays on nature and life. Together they light a path to genuine love and caring, for as we learn to recognize and respect the beauty in nature we learn, too, to appreciate the beauty in ourselves.

Everywhere we turn, nature is trying to bestow her gifts upon us whether we're ready to receive them or not. Here spiritual philosopher and naturalist Mary Summer Rain shows us how to open our eyes to see, how to open our ears to hear, and how to cultivate a perceptive mind and a sensitive heart so that we may gain access to the sacred knowledge of living right. We need to look beyond the awesome sunsets and beneath the splendid blanket of snow to where the true gifts lie, hidden, waiting for our minds to unwrap them and revel in their wisdom.
The jewels in Tao of Nature are invaluable gifts to readers ready to open themselves up to the wonder of Grandmother Earth. Once again, Mary Summer Rain has interwoven her observations as a naturalist with spiritual philosophy to share with the world the lessons of nature's beauty and power.

I have mary summer rain's dream dictionary and it is the best dream dictionary I've ever come across. you do have to swallow the new age native american spirit guide concept, or at least not balk at it too much. I can't remember if the spirit guide features in this much, but it didn't live up to the dream dictionary. I don't remember gleaning much wisdom from it.

Great book of questions & answers but also of information on how to live and eat more natural or organically, how to exist on earth without leaving harmful foot prints.
