The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves.
Terry Tempest Williams
Audio Narrative and “Visual-Audio” essays document impressions for an immersive experience, almost like a conversation. Consequently, the listener becomes a participant in the act of discovery, the decision-making and the myriad emotions activated by long distance walking. Thanks to John Reamer and Associates for their generous support in the making of the Te Araroa essays and Peeps of the PCT series.

After 36 hours of travel, I arrived in New Zealand and started hiking right away.
If you arrive at a final destination, it’s a sign that you’ve set your sights too low.
It's said that people fear public speaking - and looking ridiculous - more than death.
I love being a DJ, but wanted to experience a thru-hike before it was too late.
In Silent-Film-style, the Blissful Hiker sets the "alicoop" and finally crawls in for a little shut eye.
Astonishing beauty made richer by curious music.
I was never alone hiking in Northern England.

Every day an adventure on Saint Paul’s streets
a bitterly cold day reminds me to savor the moment

me and Dvorak love public transit
