Jesse Wolf Hardin: Rediscovering Our Own Wildness

The natural world may be our most valuable aid to finding the greatest meaning in our lives. Jesse Wolf Hardin rediscovers this every day with the help of the wild canyon that is his home in New Mexico. He has found that "we don't even know what wholeness is until we look outside of the narrow confines of our mental selves to the wholeness of the living world." Drawing on his own deeply spiritual relationship with his natural environment, Hardin explains how-even in the context of our urban lifestyles-the wilder lands can help us become more present and find greater bliss in everything we do.
