Compass Season, Come Away Minutes for Myself
()
About this ebook
I LOVE THIS BOOK for the lessons it teaches in the beauty and breadth of nature. Lessons learned from the majestic canoe country of northern Minnesota. These can be applied to anyone, anywhere.
Some of the brief chapters include mysteries discovered in fallen leaves ("It is only in the autumn when we see a testament to life's tenaciousness in the remnants of summer,") the healing power of silence ("A reminder of the tinnitus we face in a world too familiar to us,) blueberry harvest and what it can tell us ("We write things off while already nature is writing a new chapter.")
This is a book that
- can be picked up anytime
- requires only a few minutes to read any chapter
- will find pertinence in the many seasons of your life
- will heal and challenge and offer a fresh perspective.
It is not necessarily a book to read cover-to-cover. It will invite you back from time to time to its pages.
"Inspiring imagery and beautifully written to provide applicable reflections to everyday life!"
In the city, in the throes of winter and its chill, on a quiet night with loon laughter out on the bay, on nights you cannot return to sleep, or when you want to quiet your spirit, this is a book you might want to consider as a companion to your thoughts. Nature's Gentle Wisdom, Find the Quiet Reading.
