"A modern pilgrimage of passages through the heights and depths of solitude and companionship, the Appalachian Trail thru-hike is a journey into the soul as much as through the mountains. In this inspirational collection of vignettes and reflections on life through the eyes of a hiker, the sky overhead represents the limitless opportunities of life held in mysterious tension with the path of one's choices. The walk is a daily reminder of our interconnectedness to the created and non-created realm--and the chance to see the wordless stories the world around us can tell."
