With his dad being a pediatrician, James saw him very little during the week. His father loved hunting and fishing, however, and always had camp to go to on the weekends and holidays. It was there that the family spent their time together in the outdoors. It was during these times James experienced Mother Nature and came under her spell. The episodes in the book are lessons impressed on the life of a young boy, imparting a spiritual foundation that gave direction and purpose to his life. Some episodes were very profound, which caused him to seek out the sense and significance of his life and people that could help him understand the states that affected him in the outdoors.
He and his wife Sherry, who shared his search, found the Institute for Religious Development in New York. There they spent many years practicing and absorbing an ancient teaching that had been lost to the outer world.
As indicated by the teaching, they had to return to the ordinary world and practice what they learned in the midst of their lives. They came back to Texas and started a family. James’ profession was a pharmacist, but he also was a flight instructor, a plumber, an appliance repairman, and he became skilled in all the building trades. Realizing that there were similarities in the teaching and the practice of martial arts, James and Sherry added the journey of taekwondo to their lives. James and Sherry both achieved status of world champions, with James claiming ten world titles and fifth degree Black Belt.
As James approached the autumn of his life, he had the impulse to share his young life in the outdoors and commenced his profession as a writer. He felt a need to reconcile his relationship with his father, who passed away when James was young. He also wanted awaken people to the great value of their experiences outdoors under the influence of Mother Nature. And finally he wanted to hide certain principles in his work that would be felt in one’s heart and stimulate his readers to search for a deeper purpose to their life.
James and Sherry still share Mother Nature together. Taking the photography of Her beauty, Sherry transforms her visions into incredible paintings.view less
