The Mountains Are Calling-But Why?
There's something primal that stirs when you see mountains on the horizon after months of city living. Your shoulders drop. Your breath deepens. You feel something ancient wake up inside you. Gerald G. May felt this pull his entire life-a magnetic draw toward wilderness that went beyond recreation or escape. Written while facing terminal cancer, this book isn't about hiking tips or survival skills. It's about what happens when we finally stop running from ourselves and let nature strip away everything we've built up as protection. May discovered that wilderness doesn't just offer beauty or solitude-it offers a mirror that shows us who we really are beneath the roles, anxieties, and endless mental chatter. What makes this journey remarkable isn't just where it takes us, but what it reveals: that our disconnection from nature is inseparable from our disconnection from ourselves.
