As I sat on the rocky bank, I watched a thousand years of the life and the rhythms of survival pass during one sunset; a thousand moments of evolution and creation marching forward to this one moment of life and death. The time passed invisibly before my eyes, destruction and creation in the one eternity and one millisecond I observed on the hill overlooking the Toklat River. It was nourishment of life itself, by life feeding on life just as the dark rolled into dusk and then on, into new days...
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
Reputedly the last words of Crowfoot
Blackfoot (Siksika) chief
This is a book about wilderness.
It is about the vitalness of wild areas in the world.
This is a book about youth.
It is about growth, transition, responsibility and discovery.
This is a book about South Africa.
It is about people living their lives, trying to make their hopes reality.
This is a book about passage.
It is about hope and understanding, and it is about our future.
