The year begins as he settles into a cabin with no running water and no electricity, built of hand-cut logs he dragged out of the woods with a team of oxen. There, alone except for his pet raven, Jack, he rediscovers the meaning of peace and quiet and harmony with nature--of days spent not filling out forms, but tracking deer, or listening to the sound of a moth's wings.Throughout this year when "the subtle matters and the spectacular distracts," Heinrich brings us back to the drama in small things, when life is lived consciously. His story is that of a man rediscovering what it means to be alive"--Publisher's website Heinrich, Bernd, 1940- Homes and haunts Maine 16449 Country life Maine 16450 Natural history Maine 16427 Maine Description and travel 16315 Maine Description and travel 16315 .b2586208x ddc BOOK 29471 29471 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ NF 2024-04-05 15.00 1 974.1 HEIN 65967 2025-05-14 2025-05-07 2024-04-05 BOOK 1
