| Summary: | In this chapter, reflections growing out of trout fishing during the mayfly hatch in northern Wisconsin, salmon fishing in Newfoundland, and duck hunting in South Carolina focus on the meaning and nature of wildness and the interconnection of living things. Directly engaging with other forms of life, instead of treating them as detached objects of study, has a transforming effect on human understanding of our own embodied nature. Wildness is not an abstraction to be defined. It is inherent in the beauty, goodness, and concreteness of the world.
