An exploration of the spiritual power of nature and an urgent call to reclaim that power in everyday life.
What The Reviewers Say
Armstrong locates our very capacity to willingly inflict so much violence on the natural world in the severed link between nature and the divine.
Armstrong has written a rich and subtle exploration of the sacredness of nature, filled with a timeless wisdom and deep humanity that comes from a lifetime spent studying religious thought. Each chapter explores ideas and practices that were fundamental to the way people experienced nature in the past, and shows how they can help us forge a new bond with the world around us.
This is Romantic talk. Like the Romantics, Ms. Armstrong hears a secret harmony in the dream of eternal Asia. Nature remains sacred in Islam, Hinduism, Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.
