Meditations on Nature, Meditations on Silence

Explore the beauty and mystery of the natural world through art, poetry, book excerpts, interviews and Roderick MacIver's full-color watercolors. Nature offers us a sense of peace and harmony not easily accessible in the modern world. Drawing on the works of many mystics, writers, poets and artists, this collection reminds us how great the gift of life can be.

Roderick MacIver is a Canadian-born watercolor artist whose artwork has been acquired by public and private collectors. Many of his paintings have been used by wilderness protection groups and nonprofit organizations in their outreach efforts. In 1995, he founded Heron Dance (www.herondance.org), a nonprofit organization that celebrates the human connection to nature through art and words.
