Publisher's Synopsis
I know the power of FIRE, WATER, EARTH and AIR. I was born into and was baptized in it from the day I was born. I know all too well the power of the Creator and the creation. To think that creation, nature, the great outdoors is just something to enjoy as leisure and recreation is to miss out on a whole dimension of what it truly is. I am saddened that the world we live in bottles up our very life and essence in artificial environments and structures created by human beings for in bottling ourselves up we miss out on touching the divine. True peace is where you may least expect. it to be. It exists and speaks in solitude, in our heart of hearts. One need only find a place away from the noise and seek its voice. And though it may speak anywhere I hear it more clearly when I escape the noise of civilization, the noise in my own head.. I hear its voice most clearly when I am on a wooded trail. I hear its voice most clearly in the crackling of a fire. I hear it most clearly in the babble of a brook. I hear it most clearly when I breathe in the fresh air of the wild. And when its voice speaks it teaches me the ways of the Creator, the way of peace and tranquility, the ways of hope and truth. It is my hope that as you journey with me in this book that you too will hear its voice.
