A Last Hike In

<p>A Last Hike In is a book of late life of a writer's returning to his sources in wildernesses the untamed places of the heart of solitude and passion and love and in the deep pasts of myths and ancient history as he continues his lifelong search for meaning for what stays the essential things of which no matter the hour we still have so much to say so much there's left to tell.  It is a song of the earth that like Mahler's as it approaches the end listens for the profound call like a summons from within the world of what endures of what sustains and consoles us as if forever.</p>
