Description

The creator of Return of the Bird Tribes shares a day-long spiritual journey through the wildlife of the Missouri Ozarks, where he and his wife have lived for twenty years. 20,000 first printing. Tour.
Ken Carey’s book packs half an entire life of good living–years of raising children and learning the ways of the Arkansas backwoods–into a mere 160 pages. There, on his 80-acre patch of ground, Carey studies the ways of the mountain people, campaigns against the forestry industry’s clear-cutting practices, raises vegetables, and comes to grips with the realities of the place–such as venomous snakes outnumbering people by a wide margin up within the mountains. This fact prompts Carey to examine his leanings toward Buddhism: the kill-nothing philosophy is sublime. But within the Ozarks any individual exhibiting so pacific a temperament right through summer months would soon be compost. Carey seems to have found a real home on this neglected corner of The united states, and he is given us a fantastic book.
