BEING HUMAN & LOVING LIFE
From the Wise Counsel of Plants, Animals, Insects & Earth
By Maia Kincaid, Ph.D
Intuition n. Immediate apprehension or cognition. Second sight. Sixth sense.
Intuition is a word that defines Maia Kincaid's life and purpose---and led to the writing of Being Human & Loving Life. Indeed, as a little (and very curious) girl, she wanted to meet God to find out the why and purpose of life---and to experience the peace she felt in nature, with plants and animals.
In adulthood and after conversations with thousands of animals (pets) as well as plants, insects, and Mother Earth, Dr. Kincaid gathered together all the conversations and considered writing a book. It was Delight, the pet horse who encouraged her to share the stories as they come, and so she does.
Being Human & Loving Life is filled with warm and relevant insights. Here are a few excerpts from conversations held at their owner's requests as well as chance meetings.
In Chapter 15, Hop Along, Dr. Kincaid has a fascinating (and telling) conversation with a grasshopper. One insightful paragraph reads, "I want to emphasize the importance of listening intently, as well as feeling what another has to say. This is the true manner of communication with another as it brings the moment of communing into one's full awareness. It makes the moments of communing fully alive and vibrant, with the participants both nurtured and deeply understood."
And in Wisdom a bee tells us: "It is important that you keep your dreams in the forefront of all your thoughts and expressions. Keep a meditative focus on them so they have space to come forth. Your dreams are your primary work, no matter how many hours you work elsewhere and how few hours that you think that you put towards your dreams. Keep your focus on them and know that when you listen to your intuition all that you do, even those seemingly unrelated tasks, helps in the ultimate expression of your dreams."
When Maia Kincaid quiets her mind to listen, either face-to-face or via thought waves, she hears and understands them, and they understand her. Being Human & Loving Life is a beautiful compilation of this oneness, and is why I so strongly recommend it to you, as well as it's companion book, Learning to Love!
