WOOD THRUSH BOOKS -- ESSAYS |
Back Cover Blurb:
Worldly Matters is a collection of informal essays and short narratives that delves deeply into humanity´s relationship to the natural world while touching upon the riddles of existence and meaning. Whether he´s tramping alone in deep woods, gazing at the stars, discussing heady matters with friends or simply admiring a waterfall, the author keeps one eye fixed upon what is always apparent yet nearly impossible to articulate. The result is a series of ruminations, sometimes whimsical and other times deadly serious, leading to some rather unusual conclusions.Essays in the Collection:
