What the Forest Told Me

Take a walk in the woods and listen to the lessons nature shares. Hear the wisdom of the wind, the insight of the river, and follow the example of stately trees. Nature is all around us, but in our rush of our daily lives, we often don't see it. As deadlines loom, our children need care and electronic devices steal our attention, we lose touch with all that nature has to offer. But if we listen carefully and pay attention, there's much in our forests, parks and beaches that speak directly to our souls. From the winter of adversity to the summer of joy, we can find much in nature that mirrors our fears and happiness and can lead us to live more inspired lives. This book invites you to celebrate the messages and metaphors found in nature. It's not a nature guide, but rather one into your life, your soul as reflected in the trees, river and animals that surround us. Each chapter is meant to be savored and meditated on. Friendly self-reflection questions will guide you to personal insights. You are then invited to use those insights to improve your life and the lives of your loved ones through suggested action plans. This book is great selection for book clubs, church groups or any group of friends who want to journey together into a more purposeful life.
