About the Author

Chris Highland is an interspiritual chaplain, author, songwriter and poet. He completed his undergraduate studies in religion and philosophy in Seattle, Washington, before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area to complete his Masters degree. A passionate saunterer, he enjoys an intimate relation with Nature in forests, mountains and waterfalls. An avowed heretic ("one who seeks new paths"), Chris' writing reflects his exploration of the edges of human society and his playful search for what Emerson called "high, clear and spiritual conversation," to be had by each and every one of us as "beggars on the highway." Chris is the author of "Meditations of John Muir: Nature's Temple," "Meditations of Henry David Thoreau: A Light in the Woods," and "Meditations of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Into the Green Future," all from Wilderness Press.
