Stay Together, Learn the Flowers, Go Light


The day after I submitted the final manuscript of my book to the publisher, I read the poem “For the Children” by Gary Snyder, which ends:

 

To climb these coming crests

one word to you, to

you and your children:

 

stay together

learn the flowers

go light

 

These two stanzas would have made the perfect epigraph for my book. . .

So begins my essay "Stay Together, Learn the Flowers, Go Light," published yesterday in The Art of Everyone

And don't forget you can order a copy of my book, Uphill Both Ways: Hiking toward Happiness on the Colorado Trail from any of the vendors listed here.
