Thinking Like a Mountain: Toward a Council of All Beings

From the back cover of the book by John Seed, Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming, and Arne Naess:

CONNECT WITH THE LIVING EARTH!

Thinking Like a Mountain: Towards a Council of All Beings is a collection of readings, meditations, poems, guided fantasies, workshop notes–and exquisite drawings of the Tasmanian rainforest–designed by experienced workshop leaders and activists to help us move beyond the sense of alienation from the living Earth that most of us feel.

Many people intellectually realize that we are inseparable from Nature, but few of us really experience our intimate connection with Nature. When we develop empathy for the Earth, when we realize that its pain is our pain, that its fate is our fate, we find new clarity, inspiration, and commitment.

Thinking Like a Mountain helps us remember our deep connection with the Earth, reassess our patterns of consumption, rediscover our needs for intimacy and support, and redefine our priorities for action.
