For the first time in more than 15 years, this beloved collection of Eckhart Tolle's spiritual teachings and Patrick McDonnell's heartwarming illustrations is back in a beautiful hardcover edition. This wonderfully unique collaboration brings together two masters of their fields, joining original words by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle with delightful illustrations by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of the acclaimed comic strip MUTTS . Every uplifting page provokes thought, insight, and smiling reverence for all beings and each moment. More than a charming collection of witty drawings and captions, the marriage of Patrick McDonnell's art and Eckhart Tolle's words is an enlightening journey through their shared love of nature, of animals, of humans, of all life-forms. Guardians of Being celebrates and reminds us not only of the oneness of all life but of the wonder and joy to be found in the present moment, amid the beauty we sometimes forget to notice all around us. Uplifting and deeply reassuring, this pairing of profound insight and playful humor invites spiritual seekers, animal lovers, and readers of all ages to recognize the wisdom of the presence and uncomplicated joy embodied by our animal companions.
