The fires of 2003 closed trails and caused the book's postponement since the author's work very literally went up in smoke. Soon though, areas began to open, allowing the author to re-hike trails for the book's accuracy. In San Diego's backcountry, McGregor found colorful witness to Mother Nature's regenerative powers. Just as prickly caterpillars steal away into darkness then emerge as brilliant butterflies to delight the eye, the earth too emerges brilliant after a season of darkness  . . . or simply from winter to spring to summer to fall. And we can too.

Excerpt from the book's preface: As scorching heat is swallowed by a twilight pink sky, hungry bats awaken and emerge on nimble wings, a restless predator rises to prowl, and stars grow bright. At dawn, the powdery sand is moist with dew, holding the scuttling imprints of tiny insects that scurried in the night. A tarantula hawk flits about on transparent red wings. A dragonfly hovers, beckoning you to a stream's edge where water splashes, sprays, and tumbles, reflecting the lilting dance of your soul . . . awakened by the desert.  MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
