Editorial Reviews

In the great tradition of the legendary literary walkers - Thoreau, Wordsworth, Dickens - and the spirit and soul of John Muir and Robert Macfarlane, comes this wonderful book of contemplative wonder. To walk, to hike is miraculously human, but in the hands of Dami Roelse, the journey becomes not only poetic and transcendent, but divine. Dami is a keen observer of the world and of the self, and through this combination delivers a story of personal discovery that will change how you move in the world. — David W. Berner, journalist, broadcaster, and author of several books including the memoir Any Road Will Take You There
