What does a good long ramble in the woods tell us about our shared experiences, our loneliness. Is it possible to shed our civilized layers of defensive behavior, our fear of unmasking and discovery, of the unknown or once-known and forgotten? Join celebrated outdoorsman and poet Sydney Lea as he walks off into his beloved New England woods on a vision quest that touches everyone who reads along to keep him company. One's own shape-shifting powers come into focus in the light of Lea's surprising discoveries and revelations.
