Author Mary B. Kurtz shares the rich experiences of her Colorado agricultural life in this collection of twenty-eight lyric essays, contributing immeasurably to the great tradition of Western American literature. As if looking through the aperture of a microscope with its light-gathering qualities, Kurtz sees a clear and magnified vision of her life on a ranch and writes about its daily rhythms, the murmurings of a natural world, and the vagaries and mysteries of aging and mortality. Her stories are a manifestation of spirit, an exploration and amplification of her inner experience. She discovers her inherent instinct for survival and growth by meeting change and loss with hope and trust.
