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 heartwarming page provokes thought, insight, and smiling reverence for all beings and each moment.
More than a collection of witty and charming drawings, the marriage of Patrick McDonnell’s art and Eckhart Tolle’s words conveys a profound love of nature, of animals, of humans, of all life-forms. Guardians of Being celebrates and reminds us of not only the oneness of all life but also the wonder and joy to be found in the present moment, amid the beauty we sometimes forget to notice all around us.

Eckhart Tolle wrote the enlightening books (which I also highly recommend); “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth.” These books had such a profound effect on me that I went searching for a way to share this insight with my 9 year old son. How do I teach my children this most important information that they could ever learn? “Guardians of Being” takes an abstract concept and brings it to life in this adorably animated book. Tolle’s teachings are simplified to perfection through excerpts such as “Just watching an animal closely, can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time – surrendered to life.” And, “The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn’t been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.” And one of my favorites; ” I have lived with many Zen masters, all of them cats.”In this book there is a brilliant tool for teaching meditation to children (actually, I use it myself sometimes): “Close your eyes and say to yourself: “I wonder what my next thought is going to be.” Then become as alert as a cat watching a mouse hole. You may find that, as long as you are absolutely alert, the next thought does not arise….”The final pages of this book brought me to tears. I won’t spoil the surprise.My son and I continue to read and talk about this book together. In my son’s words; “It’s spiritual and funny at the same time. I really like it.””Guardians of Being” is one of the most enjoyed and most valuable books on my children’s bookcase. Two more that I highly recommend are “Zen Shorts” and “The Three Questions, Based on a story by Leo Tolstoy,” both by Jon J Muth.
