Looking for Hickories
"Yearning for Yellowstone, we over look the fossils in our own backyard."
"More than twenty-five years later I'm still working on the answers. I suspect many who love nature but earn their living in the great indoors feel the same way. The things we're socially conditioned to want tether us to jobs and situation that leave us comfortable but unfulfilled. I don't think it's quite true that most people live lives of "quiet desperation," as Thoreau said. In his fervent but celibate quest for putiry, Henry often seemed a bit desperate himself. Still, if we had our durthers, many of u would find a vocational compromise that brings us closer to our ideals."
This book of essays set in Michigan is redolant of Hubbell and Stillgoe. Thanks to Mr. Springer for an excellent read about topics and a state dear to me.
