description: This very personal book grew out of the author's essays that evolved into a spiritual journal, a book of discovery, revealing the natural world in fresh radiance - seen through "new eyes" David Hopes, an outstanding new voice in nature writing, has taken a number of his experiences and first-time encounters and has recorded them in this evocative volume. A Sense of the Morning pays attention to birds at dawn, toads in a Midwestern pond, whales in the Atlantic Ocean, the human body in its vulnerability and triumph, the vistas of the Blue Ridge where the author now makes his home. It is a book about the power of vision, about the transfiguring potential of the natural world when it is looked at with fresh eyes, and determination to understand and communicate. David Hopes is the kind of writer who can give the reader new eyes, too. Join him on the trail, by the pond, looking at the sky, remembering, and wondering.
