About this product

Product Information

A thought-provoking and inspiring treasury of essays focusing on nature and the ancient wisdom of this earth, by the bestselling author of Anam Cara and Benedictus. In The Four Elements, poet and philosopher John O'Donohue draws upon his Celtic heritage and the love of his native landscape, the west of Ireland, to weave together a tapestry of beautifully evoked images of nature. As John explores a range of themes relating to the way we live our lives today, he reveals how the energy and rhythm of the natural world - its innocence and creativity, its power and splendour - hold profound lessons for us all. With a foreword written by his beloved brother Pat, this illuminating treasury is a unique collection of reflections inspired by the ancient wisdom of this earth.

    John O'Donohue wrote beautiful words in beautiful style about beautiful Life truths. My experience: All his books are a delicious read, to be enjoyed in small doses - over and over again.

    I expected poetry and prayer so was initially disappointed: these are O'Donohue's musings on the 4 elements in nature and it doesn't read 'as a whole'. Some of it leaves me flat, but then there are phrases and insights that cast a very clear light on his subject. This is a series of contemplations that you will enjoy if you already love to meditate with nature or have insufficient opportunity to be out in nature and need some lovely reminders.
