”Step Into My Green World: Awakening Through Walking Meditation”, (by Libby Leyrer) is an invitation to my spiritual journey & awakening in nature. My commitment to this daily practice opened me up to an embodiment of nature mysticism. The cycles of the seasons moved me into their flow, their pace, flavor & essence. Nature’s creatures also played a part, as symbols & other references. My artwork is included within the book & as the cover art; the process involves enlarging a black & white infrared photograph, then using oil paints to complete the desired image. This is my first book which emerged from my walks in the Washington Park Arboretum near my home in Seattle Washington. I now live most of the year in southwestern France where I continue my daily morning walking meditation. Perhaps my next book will be in French!
