Author Jeffrey Riordan Hinich walks alongside Thoreau as a fellow botanist and magician, and even though they live(d) in separate times and spaces, their philosophical affinities bring them together. He leads us back to what's sane and tribal, and beyond that, to a higher order and a better way of living replete with mysticism, splendor, regeneration, transcendence, awe and an appreciation of the natural world that we've been so generously and graciously given.
