"Anyone who picks up this book, whether they've hiked every trail in the country or have never laced up a boot, will fall in love with Earth's magic through Scott Stillman's eyes. He brings canyons and mountainscapes to life through reverent observation and pure, joyful adventure reminiscent of Edward Abbey's desert days. His eye for rustic beauty reminds us all to slow down and rejoice each day we're alive." -EMMA MURRAY, BOULDER WEEKLYScott Stillman was born in Fairfield, Ohio, then moved to Boulder, Colorado in 2003. For twelve years he backpacked extensively through the mountains and deserts of the American West. Along the way he worked as a bicycle mechanic, Uber driver, and a whole slew of unconventional jobs to fund his travels and stay on the wilderness path. Recording his journeys with pen and notebook, he writes primarily about our spiritual connection to nature.
Through his deeply poetic and wildly provocative tale of personal transformation, Scott Stillman takes us on a spiritual journey, away from a chaotic world of details, obligations, smartphones and noisy machines, to a place that is unspoiled, untamed, free.
Mostly solo, he guides us deeply into American Wilderness. There is heart-wrenching beauty. Undeniable presence. In the cracks and fissures of the Earth we uncover timeless wisdom, ancient magic, and a Gateway to the Soul. Here we learn who we truly are. Beneath all the layers, the labels, the stories, the myths.
Come on in. The door is wide open. To all who wish to wander.
What can we learn from Wilderness & More... Scott Stillman ... Wasn't expecting it, but great to hear from you. Years ago, I was introduced to Ed Abbey's works and as an avid backpacker, primarily of East Coast areas, I was overwhelmingly drawn to Abbey-country.I ended up on a solo trip to Arches & was eventually able to share a second trip to the area with my wife Susan. Never so blown away in my life ... able to experience Zion, Canyon Lands, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef ... well, you get the picture.So, just recently saw an ad for your book, and was compelled to check it out from the sample; as a Tao/Buddhist practitioner and teacher of such ... your experiences and writing deeply resonates with me. I truly can sense your sincere compassion and love for our precious wilderness as well as living it deeply within the bowels of your soul.At 71 now, and with some rotator cuff & neck deterioration, I'm unable to lug my pack any longer, but still hitting the trails for day-trips & until they send me up the chimney, forever loving this universe of ours.Keep it up Scott ... living vicariously through the efforts, writings and ramblings of realized soul mates.The Healing Power of Nature While reading this book, I found myself mesmerized by the picture that the author painted in my mind about his experiences! Although I would have loved to see pictures throughout or a section dedicated to the places he describes, the pictures weren't needed. And, as the author points out, would have taken him out of the present moment anyway from being in communion with nature. :)My favorite type of vacation is one out in nature where I am camping, hiking, & hot springing & when I read his descriptive reflections it makes want to do the solo journeys I used to take when I want to college. I am craving the silence, the stillness & the surrender that being alone in nature can bring. The quieting of the mind & the clarity of thought & purpose that comes with taking time away to unplug.I am hoping this author decides someday to lead guided journeys that start in a group setting, disperse to their very own solo journeys, & come back afterward to connect & reflect on their experiences. :)So here's the deal... if you love nature, it's just simply healing for you, OR you've never stepped a foot outside in your life this book will remind you of your true authentic nature & why it's so important to reconnect with yourself in nature OFTEN.It might also remind you to find gratitude for this connection by protecting the beautiful wilderness places that have healed, nourished & uplifted you. :)If Thoreau was alive today... Would he go on a journey like this? I would like to think so.Mr. Stillman’s writing style is poetic and prose wrapped around his determination and accomplishment.I think this is a great book for anyone who loves our country and it’s natural beauty. His writing brilliantly reminds us that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.My suggestion is to read it before going on your own adventures!
