Dwellings – A Spirtual History of the Living World: A Spiritual History of the Living World

A wonderful walk along the spiritual borderline between the human and animal kingdoms, only to discover that in many places the border has evaporated. The american indian sense of the sacrosanct in nature survives today, whilst in Europe it disappeared with the Age of Reason; reason killed our interdependence with nature, which we no longer hold in awe. A great book for over-reasonable people, who need magic in their lives.

So full with movingly beautiful electric alive descriptions in surprising places ! Abounds deep into the well of spirited natural living wisdom. In places, the Great Spirit All Encompassing Source stirs a mysterious alive resonate awareness boomerang thru these pages 🦩

immense qualité poétique, le "réenchantement" du monde naturel à travers le prisme de la vision holistique des Amérindiens, par un écrivain hors-pair.

Book looked like it had not been read.

All things on earth, sky, water, stars are faces of god. If there is no reverance, God is not exactly present. That's what I'm getting out of it. It fits with my Buddhist studies and general interpretation of....living,loving light.

I read this book over 20 years ago. I have purchased many copies of the book and given it away to friends. I was stunned by it's ferocity and incite. This is a native woman's observation and perception of nature. It is steeped in the traditions of her Chickasaw heritage. Poetic and deep, it's never lost it's impact. I've re-read the book often, it never tires.
