“Entering the disarming silence of wilderness, neglected things rise to consciousness. Backpacking has as much to do with what I carry inside as with what goes into the pack. It connects me with woundedness as well as with wonder””
Adventure
Taking the inner journey outside
“I don’t have to face down grizzly bears or survive flashfloods in desert slot canyons to feel fully alive in backcountry. Facing down myself is enough. The interior landscape is the most dangerous territory I’m likely to explore. Yet to get there I have to keep venturing “further up and further in,” as Aslan urged at the end of the Narnia tales. The spiritual life ... is a matter of moving ever deeper into backcountry, both literally and figuratively.”
