Following my return from 3 months on the road exploring Canada and Alaska, I sat down and arranged several of my short stories and bond them into a book titled Following the River’s Current.
Through my life journey, I have found the most important self-reflecting moments have come while in the woods or on the water enjoying outdoor activities. I believe being out in natural widens the communication channel between us and God. This collection of both reflective and humor short stories suggests this sentiment. In each of the stories, the characters go out to enjoy an outdoor activity such as a canoe float, a deer hunt or a hike to a hot spring not necessarily in search for anything more than an enjoyable adventure. What they often find is a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Sometimes holding true to one’s true self can be extremely difficult in today’s world. Frequently however, through the natural world we find reward for being true to ourselves. This collection of short stories explores this connection of man and nature through outdoor activities such as hunting, canoeing, fishing and exploring hikes.
