520 $aA memoir of place, relationships, and the hardships and delights of rural life, Ken Carey's journal of a daylong spiritual journey through the forest instills a sense of ancient geologic time, wonder for the natural environment, and a heartfelt appreciation for human nature.
520 8 $aSituated exactly midway between the arctic and the equator are the Ozarks - some of the oldest mountains in the world. This wild and majestic place is where Ken Carey lives with his wife and family. Their rustic home in the outback of Missouri is the setting for Carey's reflections about his life and the natural world.
520 8 $aAttention to detail, a childlike curiosity, and a delightful sense of humor characterize Carey's reminiscences that take him back to Chicago where he was born and through his years traveling across the country. Finally he follows his dream, and settles on a homestead where, down a long path and through a clearing, there is a hollow of mossy limestone called Flat Rock.
520 8 $aThis is a place of waterfalls, wild thunderstorms observed from the treetops, nightly jam sessions whistling with peeper frogs, cohabitation with deadly copperheads, and dueling water witches, who argue over where Ken should drill his well. Carey's love of his Ozark mountain home gives him the ability to engage in the kind of observation and unique insight that bring an appreciation of beauty and a simple, fresh perspective, on life.
