The stories here explore the wonders of the natural world - the very spirit of the wilderness that in effect brings us closer to our true selves. They offer insights into lessons learned from nature, interactions with people who live in the bush, and the wisdom of an ancient way, long since lost in our affluent, "civilized" society. Against the backdrop of wilderness adventure, Graham delves into interwoven issues of spirituality, extrasensory perception, survival against the primal elements, the lives and stories of Native Americans, bear and wildlife encounters, the cowboy life, personal happiness and relationships, coming of age, life goals, and other challenges involving the human condition.
