ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The true spirit of Native American ways of knowing shines through in these heartfelt meditations, poems, and stories. In 364 daily offerings organised according to the cycles of the moon, Jamie Sams offers stirring and poetic insights into the spirituality of the earth, connecting with our communities, and our own soul journeys.
Based on Native American creeds and legends, these meditations cut to the heart with their honesty, beauty, and authenticity. Sams teaches such grounded lessons as how to face an unknown future with confidence and conviction, how to rediscover the joy of curiosity, and how to develop a true intimacy with nature.
USER REVIEWS
"Another one that is in my collection and that I found useful. I think that it has much to teach those that are seeking. Good book to read."

"I practice Earth Spirituality but Ms. Sams' writting left me confused over how to relate to nature. For me, this book was frankly too New Agey for my tastes. Many of the writings seemed to be a rehashing of New Age Indianisms. I prefer a more original approach to Earth Spirituality than simply "Indianisms"."

"This book has 364 poems/short pieces of prose so you can read one per day. I just pick it up and flip to a page when I need to get grounded again. There are lots of life stories, one that sticks out for me is one that talks about remembering to be balanced. Following each poem/short story there's a sentence or two on the learning to take away and reflect on. Its really great - definitely a nice thing to do upon starting the day. Each entry has a connection to the earth, the Great Mystery, and often human behaviors (e.g. kindness, humility, love, qiet mind, etc) that we all can relate to and reflect upon."

"This is a remarkable book for understanding a particular place in life. Whether you follow the pages corresponding to the movements of the moon, this book will give powerful insight into your life. On the day I was moving out of my hometown for the first time I opened to a page radomly it spoke about cherishing old friends and places and having the courage to move on. Jamie Sams is an incredible author and a wonderful person to read."
