There is a place waiting for everyone, which when you get there, you realize that you have always wanted to be there. This book invites you on a journey, lends a hand, and then helps you get a feel for the rhythm of the Earth's history as seen in the giant geological museum of the Southwest.
Back in the happy, peaceful years before the turn of the millennium, a young engineer came to the US for work. It was only a matter of hours before he realized his desire to see and experience as much as possible of the beauty of what was once known as the New World. For the twenty years since then, he has returned annually to explore North America's most beautiful national parks and share his experiences with as many of his fellow countrymen as possible. He still feels a special fascination when he travels to the former WILD WEST states, where he is surrounded by the diverse landscape, the peace of the desert, the silence of the canyons, and, above all, the friendship of the people who live there. These are the moments when he experiences the joy of coming home, even if his homeland is thousands of miles away. This book takes the reader to the exciting, awe-inspiring world of plateaus and canyons, to the land of stone arches and bridges, endless forests, deserts, soaring mountain peaks, thundering waterfalls and rushing rivers showing the most beautiful jewels of our world and opening the door for the reader to realize how wonderful our world is.
This is the book you never thought you'd feel so close to!
I recommend this book to all who take pleasure in beauty, in the touch of sandstone, the view of the sun setting over the desert's landscapes shaped by water, wind, and frost.
For you who, either by your own choice or because of the wisdom, enterprise, and courage of your ancestors can call North America home; I dedicate this book to you because you will understand my attachment to a place where the soul soars free like the bald eagle. I trust that I can write something about the landscape, or the hiking trails you love that you will find interesting or that will bring back pleasant memories.
And for you, who are just passing through with me, I intend to help you plan the great journey of your life.
It doesn't matter if you stop for a breather on the trail more often because of the years you've left behind, or if you're a young person at the height of your powers, passing us by, not slowed by the weight of your backpack or the steepness of the path.
I'm just a stranger from another continent.
Yet I believe we have something in common. It is the attraction, the love and longing for one of the most beautiful places on earth, the promise of a distant, special world that once seemed unreachable. A place that can turn everyday life into a celebration.
… and I dedicate SANDSTONE RHYTHM to you who may have seen more of life than I have, but remain open to new experiences, to discovering the unknown. To you, ready for an adventure through which you can find yourself, your partner, your path that leads to fullness.
