Publisher's Synopsis
In "Perception at the Roots", nature's quiet moments serve as both a backdrop and a teacher, guiding us through the simple yet profound rites of passage-whether it's catching a fish at dawn, splitting wood on a crisp morning, or feeling the weight of the land beneath our feet. In the exhilarating pursuits we chase, from traversing mountains to navigating earth-worn trails and paddling against a whitewater current, nature shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. With each piece, writer Dirk Ruff invites us to reflect on how our time spent in nature roots us in something larger-something that transcends our humanity.
