About This Book

The author offers an intimate spiritual autobiography that records recurring pilgrimages into the countryside where prolonged communion with earth, sky, sun, sea, and simple flora produces ecstatic introspection. Through descriptive scenes of walks up hills and lying on thyme-scented turf, he traces a life-long quest for deeper feeling and soul-life, converting sensory experience into a form of prayer and self-examination. Chapters alternate vivid natural observation, memory, and reflective prose to map inner transformations, moods of rapture and calm, and a persistent striving to revitalize mind and spirit through contact with the natural world.
