Very nice recordings! They make fine accompaniment to Saturday morning writing while it rains outside the window here.

Day five, packing up. Sun spills through a gap between dark blue waves and low cumulus at dawn and lights the point. Farewell for now. Not much walking to speak of today.

Day four, six-odd miles off trail through dense forest. A few brutal sections of blown down beech, a redtail alarming over the canopy, tired legs. A lovely mossy spot for lunch and a wild, dizzying swim in huge waves back at camp.

Day three, fourteen miles after a late start. Two wavy hours on the government boat only to end up just down the beach. We made up for it with a brisk pace across the island. Elderberry, sugar maple, more beech thickets. A hidden lake just as the rain arrived, five long miles back to camp, to swim.

Day two, seven steep miles. Another spring, a cabin in ruins, one dune fossilized by forest and a second still at work. Feeling good.

And home again. Dry out the gear, check on the garden, make some dinner. I don’t mind having a roof over my head sometimes.

I first found Bringhurst through "The Elements of Typographic Style", which is great, and subtly dips into the cosmic here and there. Those bits led me to his other work. Just reading "The Solid Form of Language" now!

Very few real books are made for amusement or money. They’re made as containers or incubation chambers for things that we inherit from the past, reconceive in the present, and hope to pass along to present and future generations.

Best of luck!

Fantastic news! I’m looking forward to listening along.
