Description
John Muir's work in preserving America's great natural areas is well-known, but his contemplative nature and spiritual connection to the natural world are less commonly understood. This book brings together a selection of quotes from Muir's journals and published works, showcasing his vibrant and ecstatic spirituality towards Nature.
Muir saw wild places as "God's First Temples" and his earthy mysticism motivated him to work tirelessly for their preservation. A valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world, this book includes previously unpublished selections from Muir's journals, offering insights into his unique perspective on the spiritual dimension of Nature.
