520 |a Hood, a nature writer and environmentalist, traveled one-lane dirt roads not maintained during the winter in Steuben County, New York, and takes readers on a tour of these seasonal roads to show how they evoke a mindful way of living. She argues that walking these roads allows a special access to and awareness of the environment, slowing the mind to a space of meditation and mindfulness and connecting the mind, body, and place. She uses the roads to detail environmental events and issues, her knowledge about plants and animals and natural history, and musings on the meaning and ecology of lives.
