Sinopsis

This book is for anyone who has found solace in the forests, meadows and wilderness. Johnson sees&mdash,and conveys to the reader&mdash,that the natural world is a mentor, curative and friend. Her writing encourages us to slow down, appreciate the earth&rsquo,s rich beauty, and, in the process, become found.Being lost isn&rsquo,t always a bad thing&mdash,indeed Cathy Johnson helps us see that it can be the adventure of a lifetime. In this book, the Missouri native sets out on a quest through the forests and trails of her region, searching not only for answers, but for life&rsquo,s bigger and broader questions&mdash,under stones, under bark and underwater.á&ldquo,Being in possession of all the answers holds no appeal at all, but owning a good pocketful of unanswered questions is to me like bread to the starving,&rdquo, Johnson writes.An accomplished artist, Johnson&rsquo,s lovely ink drawings, add to her deeply personal writing. She mourns the careless destruction of wild lands and the deaths of her father and a friend, while also weaving in scientific discussion as she explores seasonal depression, the chaos theory, and more.áJohnson sees small, faint game paths&mdash,rather than superhighways&mdash,as connecting the major events in all our lives. While it&rsquo,s easy to lose the path altogether as it traverses difficult terrain, getting lost is one of life&rsquo,s greatest adventures.Readers interested in related titles from Cathy A.
