In this compact book, 60 selections from 30 years of Emersons writings reveal the essence of his spiritual vision. Like his friends John Muir and Henry David Thoreau, Emerson saw images of the divine in the natural world, and rather than seeking to conquer wilderness, sought inspiration from it. Complementing each passage is an inspirational quote from historical and comtemporary luminaries including Margaret Fuller, the Dalai Lama, and Jack Kerouac, and voices from Taoism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sufism.
Chris Highland is an interspiritual chaplain, author, songwriter, and poet. He completed his undergraduate studies in religion and philosophy in Seattle, Washington, before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area to complete his master’s degree. A passionate saunterer, he enjoys an intimate relation with Nature in forests, mountains, and waterfalls. An avowed heretic (“one who seeks new paths”), Chris’s writing reflects his exploration of the edges of human society and his playful search for what Emerson called “high, clear, and spiritual conversation,” to be had by each and every one of us as “beggars on the highway.” Chris is the author of Meditations of John Muir: Nature’s Temple, Meditations of Henry David Thoreau: A Light in the Woods, and Meditations of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Into the Green Future, all from Wilderness Press.
