Looking for a summer read? I absolutely recommend To Walk in Wilderness.
A writer, a photographer, three lamas, and a two hundred mile walk through the great expanse of the Rocky Mountains chronicle the adventure of a lifetime.
For me, this is a book that manages to put all of nature’s rhythms and grace into words. It’s a stirring tribute that inspires and centers me in the midst of life’s cacophony. After all, one of the greatest connections mankind could possibly have is being one with nature. To Walk in Wilderness is a true adventure where readers feel the morning light at Pierre Lakes and see the ground painted with the yellows and pinks of an Indian Paintbrush firsthand through T.A. Barron’s moving descriptions and Fielder magnificent landscape photography.
Ultimately, To Walk in Wilderness transcends from the page and flows straight into your life. So when you embark on this journey, be sure to settle well into your reading corner for all the wonders ahead. It will be a walk you wish wouldn't end, but as Barron writes:
“Even as the late afternoon light depends the hues and shadows, signaling the inevitable approach of night, I feel far more joy at having lives this day than grief at having lost it.”
