Book overview
After exploring the world on foot for over six decades, the author understood that nearly every walk and every hike holds a lesson: a lesson about history, about people, about surprising, unplanned moments and about ourselves.
Walking Through Life is a collection of thirty-five short stories based on Dutch Barhydt's experiences, adventures and on occasion, a wrong turn. Barhydt's stories are humorous, sometimes poignant, some call for reflection and some are a call for action.
Through thirty-five different walks and hikes, Barhydt comes to an unmistakable conclusion. By keeping our eyes, minds and especially our hearts open as we walk and hike on our own paths, each of us creates our own stories, stories that we should share. Sharing our own stories and listening to the stories of others helps us see the common ground that we stand on, not the differences that divide us.
