The Wonderstruck essays have been predicated on a profound belief that life is not entirely random... and that the intention of the universal and infinite works itself out through the interactions that we have with one another and all the world around us.
Hence my belief that serendipity brought me to the Methow. When people ask how I came to live in this valley, the short answer is: God picked me up by the scruff of the neck and plopped me here.
The longer, if still incomplete, answer is: Wonderstruck, the collection of essays which explains my journey of grief and healing from a philosophical and metaphysical point of view.
The collection of essays you now hold, however, is specifically about some of the people, places, and experience of the Methow which fill me with awe and wonder. And I really do believe the universe guided many of the interactions here recorded.
Everything that you read in these pages is 100% true, if much of it wildly improbable. I have lived my questions, as Rilke once recommended to a young poet, and these essays are a record of my progress, gradually, without perhaps even noticing it, toward living into my own answers.
I invite you to question my experience, to ponder whether such a universe can actually exist.
But be patient with my words, especially if they resonate, and read them slowly. And also be patient with your own journey as you live your own questions in this very, very surprising universe.
