A journey into the soul of the high desert & it's people
By Thriftbooks.com User, September 25, 2002
This is a very beautifully written book that captures the mystery and magic as well as the majesty, beauty and solitude of the high desert and of the souls who exist there. John Brandi combines a gifted writing style with a depth of undestanding of human nature, the high desert and the cultures who impact and are impacted by it. In addition John speaks with wisdom about Native American culture and the interaction with western culture from a spiritual perspective grounded in Buddhist sensibilities.
