My friend’s darling mutt Ace greeted me, his entire body wriggling.

Our visit was long overdue.

We’d chat and care for horses together — a perfect pause from the demanding duties of being a mother of six.

Guardians of Being is a unique collaboration of spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle and the creator of MUTTS, Patrick McDonnell — words by Eckhart, illustrations by Patrick.

Here are a few of my favorite pages from this simple, delightful, and powerful book…
