Beautiful selections from Muir's writings, paired with spiritual quotes, excerpts.I don't know of anyone else, who manages to put so well into words the profound powers of nature the way Muir has done. John Muir was able to put into writing, the way that nature has always felt in my heart and spirit. Reading this book gives me the goosebumps! Take it into the woods, or open it when you are stranded indoors, and need to get "out"

A must!!!
Take this wonderful collection of muirs wisdom with you whether you are walking among trees, meadows, deserts, or just thinking about a saunter. Chris Highland's compilation of varied writings from John Muir are wonderfully editited, capturing muirs wit, humor and peace of mind. I love this book!!

This book is a simple yet profound collection of words by John Muir and the author's own reflections, masterfully paired. They are beautiful and inspiring. Perfect companion for a walk among the redwoods! I also enjoyed this author's other works on Emerson and Thoreau.

He lead a great life and found peace in not a house built by man but in the cathedrals of evolution. His poetic understanding of where peace can be found and not just look out your window is extremely thought provoking. A window of peace and tranquility found in the simplest of life that make up Planet Earth.

I bought this book while visiting Yosemite this summer and liked it so well I gave it away and ordered six more copies from Amazon. which I have given as gifts. The meditations are profound, but I found the book smaller than I remembered and the print harder to read.

This is a great book with excerpts from John Muir's work. I read one a day in the morning to get the day going and to encourage me about why I work so I can see Earth's beauty.

John Muir spent to much time in the sun, drinking bad water, and eating mushrooms. This guy can be seen today sitting on a branch, cracking acorns with his teeth. I have no idea who decided this nut job was a great conservationist, but those people are sitting on the same branch with Muir.
