Preface
Embarking on an Outdoor Journey
Step onto your favorite trail, kayak a winding river, or immerse yourself in the beauty of your local park, and you’ll feel it—a cool rush of calm, a gentle wave of connectivity, a sense of inclusion in the bounty that surrounds you. In the craziness of modern life, a whirlwind of daily responsibilities, time enjoying the outdoors can offer more than just a breath of fresh air; it can be calming, healing, and restorative. It can also cause a sense of awe, a feeling of being in the presence of something much greater than ourselves.
