![]() ![]() Even during my years managing a fast-growing business in New York City, I often rose before dawn to write.įinally, I followed my dream to write full time. During that time at Oxford, I composed stories and poems while hiking in the Scottish highlands, while sitting beneath the boughs of an English oak I named Merlin's tree, while backpacking through Asia, Africa, and the Arctic and while participating in a traditional roof thatching in Japan. I kept writing during my college years at Princeton, and during my years at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. I wrote and published my own magazine as a kid, called the Idiot's Odyssey, which sold about five copies an issue (including the ones my parents bought). Ever since my youth on a ranch in Colorado, I've felt passionate about nature-and about writing. And it is by far the best way to travel-in our world or any other. Writing is both the most joyous-and most agonizing-labor I know. I love to explore it, whether by foot or by pen. ![]() ![]() Whether it's the surprising connections among people, the wondrous patterns of nature, or the mysterious wellsprings of the spirit-the universe beckons. ![]()
