"As I stand there in the silence, I become aware that the silence is not complete. Water is speaking...

For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock, and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself."

Chapter 2 #TheLivingMountain might be most important of the book. Of any book. Completely changed my 'walk as challenge' mentality. Also "..be with the mountain as one visits a friend" is all the more poignant as we currently can't do either! #CoReadingVirus 8pm! @RobGMacfarlane

The #CoReadingVirus Global Reading Group of Nan Shepherd's #TheLivingMountain re-gathers today at 8pm BST, walking on together into Chaps 5 & 6 of Nan's book. Friends/readers new & old all welcome to join. Meanwhile the discussions wander always on via the threads & hashtags. https://t.co/YNM5cGBMKx

@RobGMacfarlane I love Nan's playfulness to suggest: "altering one's head position, a different kind of world may be made to appear... bend with straddled legs til you see your world upside down." challenging humans to use our bodies to shift our perspectives #thelivingmountain

"For the ear, the most vital thing that can be listened to here is silence" Nan Shepherd #TheLivingMountain
