The Living Mountain
notes
This is an absolutely beautiful reflection on the relationship between person and landscape. Nan Shepherd writes about her experience exploring the Cairngorm mountains in the Scottish highlands. She writes with a sincere sense of wonder and humility in light of the mystery and power of the mountains. I listened and re-listened to this book in audio format on walks through the woods on the weekends and was enthralled with the text from beginning to end.
