FOREWORD BY PER ESPEN STOKNES 15
ecological suffering, often bringing soul-nourishing gifts and deep
joy with them.
Do the world and the air take notice or find joy in such co-
creation with humans? I don’t know in any “objective” way, but my
living body answers after days with the snow and the mountains:
there is no doubt—the joy is mutual when the deep respect is mutual.
Clear tracks of this unique interaction come alive for an instant, then
slowly settle back into the larger forces of life. This is all we can do:
leave tracks in the wilderness of imagination. This book asks us to
critically consider what those tracks will be.
