Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
It isn t the fear of bobcats and cougars and bears and stormy weather that keeps most of us from spending time in nature. Rather, it s the fear of silence that stalks us like a dark, moving shadow in the moonlight. Most of us avoid that silence and wrap ourselves in "surround sound" even though we re somehow attracted, on deeper, unconscious levels, to Gregorian and Tibetan chanting and the practices of meditation, prayer, and contemplation. In silence, we have a greater chance of catching a glimpse of our True Self, but this can be a scary thought for minds consumed with daily practicalities and logistics that have nothing to do with who we truly are.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. So often we are drawn to nature for solace and peace in times of spiritual need. Are we searching for hope by becoming entrenched in the wilderness where untamed surroundings provide a natural order of life or are we just running from fear hoping to escape a dilemma where no one can find us? Stephen Altschuler believes that solitude in nature is the most effective way to face our fears by allowing us the chance to slow down and observe how even the smallest forms of life survive adversity from such harsh conditions as weather, predators and humans. At what point does the 'trail' become the 'path'? Join Stephen Altschuler as he leads you on a walk along the trails of Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California. Even though he has been down this trail many times, each step provides a new opportunity to re-examine his place in nature. Now you can share in his experiences so that someday you may eventually discover your own path. So often we are drawn to nature for solace and peace in times of spiritual need. ON THE TRAIL TO FIND OUT leads the reader on a walk along the trails of Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California and encourages each of us to discover the path within that connects our soul with nature on a spiritual level.
