About Wilderness, The Gateway To The Soul: Spiritual
Product Description Could wilderness be our only hope? As our culture removes itself from the natural world, something very essential has been lost. But there is still one place we can go to get it back. Come along on a spiritual journey, away from a chaotic world of details, obligations, smartphones and noisy machines, to a place that is unspoiled, untamed, and free. Backpacking mostly solo, Stillman leads us to the heart of the American Wilderness, where nature works her magic to heal and transform your life. In this riveting book, Stillman guides us on a trip to uncover timeless wisdom, ancient magic, and a Gateway to the Soul. What will you find? Is there a greater truth hidden deep in the cracks and fissures of the Earth? You'll adore this love letter to Mother Earth because it captures the essence of what wilderness and solitude can offer to the human soul. Happiness is yours for the taking, if you just let nature back into your life. Get it now. Review "Anyone who picks up this book, whether they've hiked every trail in the country or have never laced up a boot, will fall in love with Earth's magic through Scott Stillman's eyes. He brings canyons and mountainscapes to life through reverent observation and pure, joyful adventure reminiscent of Edward Abbey's desert days. His eye for rustic beauty reminds us all to slow down and rejoice each day we're alive." - EMMA MURRAY, BOULDER WEEKLY "Some books teach us, some books distract us, others whisk us away into new and fanciful worlds. In Wilderness, The Gateway To The Soul, Scott Stillman reminds us, gives us a subtle nudge, that the greatest depths of experience are right here, right now and deep inside of you. Using wild places and solitude to scrub our perspective clean, we can slowly enter into our Self, and find a truer and deeper experience. Scott takes us along on his own journey, from Capitol Reef and Dark Canyon here in Utah, to the rainy woods of the south and through his own endless discovery of who he is and what he wants out of Life. Finding that rare balance of both depth and concise understanding, he gives a wonderfully inspiring account of the raw experience of one's Self devoid of the distractions of the modern world and of other people - while shunning neither. Every page is filled with the joy of freedom found only in wild places, with love that has been cultivated over countless miles of trail, and a simple life philosophy distilled over hot tea and a crackling fire. Even as the days grow dark and cold, this book will remind you that your truest and deepest Self thrives outside of the confines of walls and modern comforts, beyond our self-imposed limitations. If you are looking for a book to keep the fire of passion burning, this is it. Get up, get out, and find your Gateway!" -BACK OF BEYOND BOOKS, MOAB, UT From the Author Excerpt from Chapter 3 Uncompahgre Wilderness, Colorado "Thunder barrels through the canyons, echoing off the walls of petrified skyscrapers. Rain pounds against tent fabric, saturating my dreams in an ocean of sound. The storm is alive, a living, raging organism. Rather than a witness, I feel myself part of it. I'm no longer sure what's real and what's fantasy, where the dreams end and reality begins, or if there is even a difference. Awake again. Water droplets rhythmically hit my forehead. Tap. Tap. Tap. Condensation raining down on me from the roof of my tent, caused by the heat of the morning sun. Rays of light stream through the door, blinding me as I open my eyes. A low fog blankets the morning in a purple hue. I climb out to prepare coffee. The air is brisk, magical. An elk bugles, a hummingbird buzzes, and I'm overwhelmed with intense gratitude. It's a new morning, and a great day to be alive. Beyond this island in the sky, over the ledge, one world disappears and another begins. I crawl out on my hands, knees, and stomach to get a closer look. When I peer over I freeze at a glimpse of ines
