Aprašymas

"What a world this is that contains such loveliness. I want to be part of it for as long as I can."

The year Ken Wilson turned fifty he felt "called" to walk the Camino de Santiago, though he'd never engaged in this kind of pilgrimage before. Over the course of the Camino, Wilson uncovered both the joy and healing power of movement and began the walking practice that has become a cornerstone in his long struggle with depression. In these elegantly written essays, the author delves into the mental, emotional and physical impact of walking, whether it's during that first journey on the Camino de Santiago or on a simple walk across his local park, alongside Wascana Creek in Regina, Saskatchewan. In each piece Wilson shares the experience of the walk as well as the considerations that shape the walk, such as joining the Walking with Our Angels procession in Saskatchewan to draw attention to the high suicide levels in northern communities. From the Haldimand Tract in Ontario to Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia, Wilson captures the way walking brings people into wholeness and understanding, with themselves, with their communities and with the natural world that surrounds them.
