A collection of essays from the author's trips through the American southwest. An exploration of the landscape without and within - a fascinating, spiritual journey.Excerpts from the Author's Introduction:"This book is a disjointed bundle of notes stitched from a prolonged escape attempt into quieter reaches of the American southwest - an incomplete work, or loose translation. I went there with peace in mind, but it's an odd, fragmentary peace that runs through the stitching, which began on a southern Nevada road when I saw something. The ground was an epic curve, immune to any useful concept of scale, and powerlines dissolved on the horizon.""Turns out it was a time of great sectarian strife when I headed out. Little do I know. I live on a complex speck that lays claim to its heavens, which for all their unbounded glory remain a mystery, a work in progress, like faulted, arid strata of former ocean floors. But the desert is bursting with light, so take a few notes, even if space-time is never all it seems."
