In the Mirror of Silence

In the Mirror of Silence is an invitation to take a pause from the hectic demands of everyday life and immerse oneself in silence and nature, becoming increasingly aware of everything happening in and around us. Drawing on his own personal experiences of silence, Dieter Mitlelsten Scheid explores essential questions which gradually arise, such as what is the basis of the self, what takes place in the realm of perception, what is the body, and above all, what is the living essence of each moment? Linking many-layered reflections and insights with subtle descriptions of nature, sensitive poetry and personal photographic images, this is a step-by-step guide to opening up to the experiences of the natural world, in order that we discover a true sense of belonging and 'home'.
