This book begins with a lovely quote ...

"He loved the earth and all things of the earth .... He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard; he knew the lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to the lack of respect for humans too." - Luther Standing Bear, Ogala Sioux

This is something I firmly belief - when you see yet more tales of animal abuse part of me wonders how people can have such lack of empathy with another living creature and how they treat the people around them!

But that's beside the by - this book is something beautiful to flick through, enjoying the absolutely gorgeous photos. The quotes and poems were more of a hot or miss thing for me - while their sentiments and concepts were beautiful, I'm not one who believes that ancient wisdom is always the best wisdom. And not all so called ancient wisdom is what it seems to be!

So overall, a lovely book that I really enjoyed, but not one I would take too seriously.

Congratulations! You have found a travelling book. Thank you for taking the time to visit this site and letting us know what this book has been up to since it was released into the wild. I hope you enjoy reading it, but even if it isn’t your type of thing, then I’m sure there will be someone out there who will love it. This book is now yours, so feel free to keep it. However, I would be grateful if you could leave all the stickers in place and pass it on again once you’ve finished with it – you could give it to a friend, donate it to a charity shop or just leave it lying around somewhere to be picked up again by a total stranger. If you would like to get regular updates on what the book is doing in the future, then why not join Bookcrossing too…its fun, friendly and free.
