Solo

Venturing Alone in The Northern Wilds

Solo invites the reader to embark on a journey into the solitary self, exploring one’s evolving relationship with the surrounding environment. This stirring and thoughtful work articulates the rewards of self-reflection, and of silence, deep listening, and meditation.

—

Solo is a contemplation of Dick Anderson’s deepening relationship with nature, of coming to terms with a primordial environment where he is the outsider, dependent upon his own frail resources. Anderson explores the paradox of learning to relax, to slow down, to just be in this harsh and demanding “primeval sanctuary,” this often-unforgiving Eden. Ultimately, Anderson’s journey is an extended exercise in mindfulness that allows him to genuinely discover his place in the natural world.
