About the Book
As a National Geographic photographer, I've worked for years to train my eyes and senses so I can capture moments of beauty and significance on film. What I do with a camera, Eileen has done with her words. This is a book of rare wisdom and relevance. Having spent much of my life in wilderness, I know the quiet, deep teachings of nature. I also know it can take time and effort to find them. How marvelous that Eileen takes us on a trek with her, sharing the lessons she has found so that we can apply them in all parts of our life. Relaxyou don't have to leave your chair. Photographer John Muir insisted that we must ''climb the mountains and get their glad tidings.'' Eileen hears all those ''tidings'' loud and clear and tells them in elegant language that can help us uncover ways to make our lives better, deeper, and richer. Gifts from the Mountain captures the essence of what my camera lens findsa banquet of wisdom for those who would listen and learn! What a gift. --- Dewitt Jones, Award-winning National Geographic photographer, author, and acclaimed professional speaker
