This beautifully written book aims to increase our love for the world through reflecting on what we have discovered about it, and using this as a basis for further meditation and spiritual enrichment. It opens by looking at the beginning of the universe and the mystery of being, then moves on to our world, its atmosphere, the miracle of water and things we often take for granted but are essential to our health and happiness. Finally, it focuses on our relationship to the earth.
Each section offers a short introduction, based on scientific discovery, a meditation, and an exercise in awareness and sensitivity.

"Like countless others, I have enjoyed and learnt a tremendous amount about Celtic spirituality from David Adam's writings over the years. Not only does he write about spirituality, but he also crafts beautiful prayers in the Celtic tradition." - New Directions
