| Summary |
"With A Wild Path, Douglas Wood seeks to understand the importance and existence of beauty, the emotional poignancy of a wilderness sunset, and the realization of dreams. With generosity and compassion, he leads readers along a meditative path through a wilderness of many dimensions, offering courage and hope to those who feel different or left behind as he shares how he found, through the counsel of rocks, trees, and waters, his own way toward joy and wonder and an unshakable sense of belonging"-- Provided by publisher. |
