I received this inspiring email today, from Jean, what can I say?:
Dennis:
I wanted to take the time to tell you something
about your book. I took it with me to New York last week, where I was
dealing with a difficult family crisis. I don’t usually read much
non-fiction, and surely not about hiking. But I started reading your
book
on the plane.
The book was my solace and my meditation for the
whole
week. When there was chaos around me, and selfish energies everywhere, I
would take a minute and read a chapter, and regain my
center. The rhythm of your hike lent steadiness to me, and the
simplicity and elegance of your writing exposed drama (where I was) for
what it
was – not important.

So thank you Dennis. Thank you for writing your
