Journeys of Simplicity: Traveling Light with Thomas Merton Basho Edward Abbey Annie Dillard & Others

You are invited to consider a more graceful way of traveling through life. With arresting clarity, Journeys of Simplicity offers vignettes of forty travelers and the few, ordinary things they carried with them-from place to place, from day to day, from birth to death.
