Publisher's Synopsis
What does it feel like to be a part of the living, breathing earth? And how do these experiences contribute to the sense that the earth is sacred, holy? In prose that is at once lyrical and vividly profound, the author intimately recounts - from childhood to the present day - his experiences of being carnally drawn into the life of the earth through six particular landscapes that open out towards the ineffable, the sacred, which does not gleam beyond the earth's horizon but beats, from within, the very heart of life.
