Description
For tens of thousands of years humans have found answers to life's greatest mysteries through the contemplation of their relationships with the wild creatures in our lives. Today, where so much of our lives takes place in cities, or in buildings insulated from the natural world, it is often through our companion animals--dogs, cats, even reptiles and fish--that we experience the sacred connections with life's great Mysteries. In this book the author, a noted writer, teacher and spiritual adviser, explores her relationships with the beloved animals of her life, both domestic and wild, through birth, death, joy, sorry, compassion, love, disappointment and healing. These pages are a celebration of life and a reminder that we are part of a reality much greater than ourselves.
