John Muir said, "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." So is the case for each walk-inspired essay from Katherine Hauswirth. Each reflection hands you talismans that you can turn over thoughtfully in your palm. Hauswirth's meditative reveries reflect on the deep connections between what we experience outdoors and our day-to-day existence as humans, peppered with thought-provoking facts as well as treasured words from other lovers of the natural world.
This book won honorable mention for general nonfiction in the 2018 American Society of Journalists and Authors Contest.
