Spiritual Gardening, by Peg Streep What a joy it was to read this book, to slowly treasure each verbal and pictorial image as they spilled across each page, lending a sense of peace, serenity and beauty to every delicious reading moment! One needs a book like this at times to balance some of the other horrendous reading that must be done in order to do the tilting at windmills that must be done to save the earth! But part of saving the Earth is also about getting to know her and appreciate her, and this Spiritual Gardening does with grace and a lush sense of sensuality. Highly recommended for purposes of spiritual healing! Get More Details/Purchase Book from Amazon.com
