"Meditations of John Muir: Nature's Temple" By Chris Highland

I liked about 50% of this book. I can think of people I know that would like it more than me. It's very poetic. Some of the entries made me think deep/reflective thoughts, others I found boring or I didn't relate. It was nice having Juhn Muir's words summed up with a quote from someone else. I found I enjoyed those quotes as much as or more than John Muir's words, but perhaps that is because they were simple, short, and easy to understand.

An excerpt:

"Bathed in such beauty, watching the expressions ever varying on the faces of the mountains, watching the stars, which here have a glory that the lowlander never dreams of, watching the circling seasons, listening to the songs of the waters and winds and birds, would be endless pleasure. And what glorious cloudlands I should see, storms and calms—a new heaven and a new earth every day, aye and new inhabitants. And how many visitors I should have." - John Muir

One of the quotes in the book from someone other than John Muir:

“[Our task is to widen] our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature.” ~Albert Einstein
