A collection of seasonal meditations and inspirational stories from nature provides starting points for meditation practices while explaining how animals can impart valuable lessons about such topics as emptiness, integrity, and regeneration. Original.

Synopsis:

In this elegantly written and illustrated book, Susan Chernak McElroy offers a series of short pieces - meditations and teaching tales - based on animals and the natural world. Each piece can be used as a starting point for meditation practice or read as it is. Arranged around the seasons, the pieces describe nature's evocative moments: magpies hiding prized baubles in their nests, badgers emerging from their dens, buffalo dancing on picnic tables, elk during mating season, dreaming squirrels, dogs, doves, weasels, horses, bears and even rivers, rocks and the wind. With McElroy's poetic language, even these so-called inanimate parts of the wild world of nature are vibrant and alive, offering their gifts to any who stop and pay attention.
