Publishers Description: This wonderfully unique collaboration brings together two masters of their fields, joining original words by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle with delightful illustrations by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of the acclaimed comic strip MUTTS. Every heartwarming page provokes thought, insight, and smiling reverence for all beings and each moment.
More than a collection of witty and charming drawings, the marriage of Patrick McDonnell's art and Eckhart Tolle's words conveys a profound love of nature, of animals, of humans, of all life-forms. Guardians of Being celebrates and reminds us of not only the oneness of all life but also the wonder and joy to be found in the present moment, amid the beauty we sometimes forget to notice all around us.
Editor’s Notes:
“Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and into the present moment which is where the animal lives all the time—Surrendered to life.”
Ekhart Tolle’s inspirational and intuitional mind combines with the Mutts comic strip creator Patrick McDonnell to honor the animals in our life and illustrate their simple wisdom.
This is delightful and lifts the spirits whether you are 10 years old or 90. I have always experienced my cat as a perfect little Buddha. This little book confirms it.
