Tales from the Trail: Stories from the Oldest Hiker Hostel on the Appalachian Trail - Sherry Blackman

Descriere Tales from the Trail: Stories from the Oldest Hiker Hostel on the Appalachian Trail - Sherry Blackman

\n \nDuring the 2020 pandemic, one thing held true: Scores of people headed out for a day hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT) as if being in the woods, immersed in beauty and mystery, immunized them against an invisible enemy. The AT became a hospital for souls locked up in quarantine, needing to breathe, stretch, and be nourished by the earth beneath their feet.\n \n \n\n \nFor decades, the AT has been a sanctuary for seekers, the tired and the lost; those hungry for renewal, the broken and the grieving; and those who want to face and answer questions they have lugged around with them in invisible backpacks. Questions like, what is next for me? Is there a God? Should I live or end it all? How can I liberate my life from what weighs it down? How can I forgive God?\n \n \n\n \nThis book pays tribute to those who dare such a grueling and soul-satisfying adventure. It tells the tales of those on a pilgrimage through insightful conversations and encounters, exploring and revealing what angels the hikers wrestle with in the wilderness who call out to name them again. This collection unveils the spirituality of any such journey in sometimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching portraits.\n \n \n\n \nTales from the Trail explores what it means to be human.\n \n \n\n
