    Recentely I've gotten back into connecting to nature, not that I've ever been to far apart, but I feel like I've been a little distant lately, caught up in the Holidays and stress of school and what not. Yes, I love reading everything from J.D Salinger to V.C Andrews, but I need something that will help me...connect, I guess.

    Can anyone reccomend any books that are spiritual, thoughtful..and will help me return to my meditative state?

    I have no books to recommend, but I have drifted quite far away from Nature lately...

    Very natural during the sleeping, winter season..I know little people who feel fully connected during this time of the year..

    Myself, Ive been lost in a dream of a new birth of spring, and eternal summer..

    Despite that, Ive been trying to appreciate winter for the breath of beauty it does have in its moonlit snowy lands.

    I dont have any books to help you connect with winter, but I am reading one which I started the end of summer, My Camino. I stumbled upon the author selling her books in a market by my cottage. I talked to her for a bit, and she bid me take a stone from her bowl, stories behind that. She signed my book, and I really reccomend it. Gives me a birth of spirit.
