Description:

This collection of tales, 15 in all, share a common theme - a sense of wonder and awe at the simple things in life. Hiking through the woods with a close friend, the author recounts his experiences, his thoughts, his feelings - among other topics, his wonder at the microscopic world within a bubble, his encounter with a strange Indian medicine man who allows him a glimpse through a portal of Time, his discovery of "Kata Place" and "The Tree of Death", a cleared area where he perfects his martial arts routines. These stories are told in a direct and simple style; they are funny, original, with a deeply philosophical and spiritual side.
