Product Information

Carrying only basic camping equipment and a collection of the world's great spiritual writings Belden C. Lane embarks on solitary spiritual treks through the Ozarks and across the American Southwest. For companions he has only such teachers as Rumi John of the Cross Hildegard of Bingen Dag HammarskjÃ¶ld and Thomas Merton and as he walks he engages their writings with the natural wonders he encountersâ€”Bell Mountain Wilderness with SÃ¸ren Kierkegaard Moonshine Hollow with Thich Nhat Hanhâ€”demonstrating how being alone in the wild opens a rare view onto one's interior landscape and how the saints' writings reveal the divine in nature. The discipline of backpacking Lane shows is a metaphor for a spiritual journey. Just as the trail offered revelations to the early Desert Christians backpacking hones crucial spiritual skills: paying attention traveling light practicing silence and exercising wonder. Lane engages the practice not only with a wide range of spiritual writingsâ€”Celtic Catholic Protestant Buddhist Hindu and Sufi Muslimâ€”but with the fascination of other lovers of the backcountry from John Muir and Ed Abbey to Bill Plotkin and Cheryl Strayed. In this intimate and down-to-earth narrative backpacking is shown to be a spiritual practice that allows the discovery of God amidst the beauty and unexpected terrors of nature. Adoration Lane suggests is the most appropriate human response to what we cannot explain but have nonetheless learned to love. Backpacking with the Saints is an enchanting exploration of how solitude simplicity and mindfulness are illuminated and encouraged by the discipline of backcountry wandering and of how the wilderness itself becomes a way of knowingâ€”an ecology of the soul.
