More Description
The natural world has the power to awaken, restore, and transform us, and nowhere are these capacities more evident than in the luminous essays that make up The Ashokan Way. Each of the book's evocative entries describes a walk along the ever-changing Ashokan Reservoir, sometimes taking us deep inside to trek the hills and valleys of our aspirations and sorrows, our joys and confusions. Other walks offer a profound antidote to an interior landscape that has become crowded with overstimulation. Still others usher us into the realm of the mystical.
As surely as we would perish without the water and air that the earth provides, we are at risk of perishing without the spiritual sustenance that the natural world provides through its ability to stir and astonish us. In a world that is ever faster, noisier, and busier, The Ashokan Way is a balm and an invitation to discover greater intimacy with inner and outer landscapes alike.
