Her answer seems to be that this is not only possible, but essential. This story shows how. I think it will open doors for many.\" --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Signature of All Things\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEat, Pray, Love\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChildren have the ability to marvel over simple things in nature--leaves, pebbles, twigs. When she becomes a mother, Leigh Ann Henion starts to question: Could experiencing earth's most dazzling natural phenomena make the world similarly new again? \u003ci\u003ePhenomenal\u003c\/i\u003e is the improbable story of how she chases eclipses, auroras, and other natural phenomena around the globe to reawaken her sense of wonder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether standing on the still-burning volcanoes of Hawai'i or in the fearsome lightning storms of Venezuela, amid the vast wildebeest migration in Tanzania, or the millions of swirling butterflies that roost on a mountaintop in Mexico, Henion discovers the visceral awe that her child experiences every day. Her spiritual wanderlust puts her in the path of modern-day shamans, reindeer herders, and astrophysicists. These seekers trust their instincts, follow their passions, shape their days into the lives they most want to lead. And, somewhere along the way, Leigh Ann Henion becomes one of them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeigh Ann Henion \u003c\/b\u003ehas contributed to the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSmithsonian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrion\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOxford American\u003c\/i\u003e, among other publications.
