From tide-strewn beaches to river mouths choked with ancient timber, Driftwood Pilgrimage invites you on a meditative journey through trails shaped by water, fire, and the patient passage of time. This immersive hiking guide is more than a collection of routes-it's a walk alongside the stories that nature carries to the shore.In a poetic first-person narrative rich with sensory detail, the author follows driftwood across continents: tracing burned trees swept downstream, shipwreck-splintered timbers tangled in seaweed, and salt-smoothed logs resting like bones on moonlit sands. Each hike is a quiet ritual of observation and release, a chance to lay burdens down and witness the resilience of what remains.Whether you're hiking Iceland's black sand beaches, wandering through Oregon's foggy dune forests, or walking barefoot on the tide-washed sands of Hokkaido, this book blends trail guidance with spiritual reflection. For those drawn to the liminal-the edge of land and sea, grief and healing, memory and letting go-Driftwood Pilgrimage offers a compass that doesn't point north, but inward.This is not just a hiking guide. It's a practice in walking with what the sea returns.
