Awakening Awe: An Illustrated Journey to Reverence

By Mary Baures

Book Overview

After spending much of her life as a psychologist, Dr. Mary Baures adopted baby elephants and took up wildlife photography. Sitting around nighttime campfires in Zambia, Botswana, and Kenya she felt intimately connected to the eerie whoop of hyenas mixed with the deep reverberating moans of lions calling to each other. She realized these tiny magical moments--and the clean leap of a leopard from a tree, the graceful dance of impalas, the slashing horns of a buffalo--went unnoticed while she sat in boxy rooms with ideas, disconnected from the energy flowing through living things.

In the rainforests of Borneo and Brazil, in the Japanese Alps, in the wilds of Alaska, out of the clutter and grasping of our culture, under the sliver of the moon, Mary Baures connected to something elemental.

Wild lives guided her across the threshold of human limitation to the force that blossoms flowers-from which we came and to which we return. Join her in her journey to reverence.
