It seemed to me that at a certain point in your life changes come that could be distructive or constructive. That it was up to each of us to decide and for me, the Rockies were the place that helped me redefine myself. So I wanted to write a record of that place and of those changes. This became a very small book about very great things: Writing, spirit, nature. I stumbled upon this peculiar theory that walking is writing and that's what the book is about.
You who are reading this will understand that I wrote this book for you. I requested that the publisher make it physically beautiful and small in size and small in price because I wanted it to be a gift back to all the people who have believed these last few years. I also wrote the book as a gift to my bride. You will have to forgive me if, after a career full of blood, garbage dumps, poverty, fear and orphanages, I have become a little mushy.
I know my readers and some critics won't mistake sentiment for sentimentality. It is time for thanks, it is even time for praise. Although I do acknowledge some sorrows, like that ghastly first marriage or some childhood agonies, they are there as perspective. The other side of the cosmic tortilla.
I was thinking of you coming home from work, tired and hungry. And I was thinking of you sitting in the back of the express bus. And I was especially thinking of you sinking into that hot water of your bathtub at about 8:30 at night when the kids are finally in bed and you have a minute to yourself and you wish you could walk under some aspen trees with a friendly companion. Because I wrote this book in the darkest of times, that is certainly what I wanted. It's just a love note from one person to the world.
