Whether realized or dismissed, we are all spellbound by our respective trails. Every decision we make, emotion we feel, and dream we pursue has led us on paths with details and complexities that we often fail to notice. From tropical getaways to construction sites to moon landings, this collection of poetic short stories explores settings at the natural, artificial, and extraterrestrial levels. Within each landscape, boundaries between the real and the imagined are blurred. By embracing abstraction, these trails feature an array of concealed messages that examine humanity's relationship with the natural world. While they vary in complexity, each piece operates on two levels: the superficial and the profound. There is not, however, a singular method by which one might comprehend the latter. Every word, sentence, and paragraph is structured in a precise manner that bolsters the meaning of the piece, but there are boundless interpretations for multiple sections of each story. The diverse array of landscapes presented in this collection will transport wanderers toward a realm of rich experiences and altered perceptions. By the end of this journey, one will likely view the world through a more critical lens. Meaning surrounds us all. . . if we choose to notice it.
