An Episcopal priest currently serving in Los Altos, California, Young does not write here about Thoreau's (1817-62) book itself but about its expression of the faith that people can experience in the holy in nature, that certain practices can help people prepare for the experience, and about the way of life that follows from such faith. He discusses religious practices, spiritual and transcendentalist journals, Thoreau's vision, seeing as communion, walking without traveling, and the wild.
