I guess I'll add a couple of things. Chris is here in our greater neighborhood and had a book reading (two actually). Hearing him read it was poetry. The spiritual nature of the trip and the deep meaning for him was very apparent to me. I've gone on a couple of short solo trips and can relate to the way one relates to the environment in that situation, and then for him to stumble on his own heritage quite by mistake was also great. I'm not sure I'll read the book after hearing him, although I did buy one!
