Wait, young Douglas’s grandfather says as the bobber twitches on
the surface of Little Lake. Be patient. And so begins an encounter
with the promise and wonder of nature that will last a lifetime.
Deep Woods, Wild Waters traces the winding path that carried
Douglas Wood from one wonder to the next, through a landscape of
rocks, woods, and waters, with stops along the way for questions
and reflections that link human nature to the larger mysteries of
the natural world. Like life itself, the author’s way is not
linear. One landmark leads back to a favorite campsite, another
prompts him to consider the “gospel of rocks,” another launches
him into the wilderness beyond the stars—a contemplation of time
and space and humanity’s place in all of it. The creator of
thirty-four books, including the classic Old Turtle, and an expert
woodsman and wilderness canoe guide, Wood brings all his
storytelling and bushwhacking skills to bear as he takes us
hurtling down wild rapids, crossing stormy lakes, or simply
navigating the treacherous currents and twisty trails of everyday
life. A warm, generous, and knowing guide, Wood maps a
journey that, as he says, “anyone can take, through a landscape
anyone can know.” Turning the pages, hiking the portages, running
the rapids, or scanning the wild country from high promontory, he
invites us to say, in a soul-satisfying moment of recognition, “I
know that place.”
