"This uplifting book weaves together a one-year cycle of nature in a small mountain valley east of ""Pecos,"" New ""Mexico,"" and an inspirational spiritual journey through the inner landscape guided by nature. Heydt shows how to find sacred places on the land which can be a gateway or threshold for quiet ""observation,"" meditation and mystical experiences. This nurturing process awakens an intimate relationship with the ""Divine,"" teaches the power of ""prayer,"" and dispels the contemporary delusion that humans and nature are separate."
