*Paddling Pathways,* available from Your Nickle’s Worth Press.

Q: What’s the takeaway you’d like readers to glean from this collection of personal essays?

A: The takeaway would be some questions: What would a reflective look at paddling in Canada look like in 2022, one that reflects changing landscape?

What might it mean for us to shift pathways and create narratives that no longer focus on competing, completing, and conquering as central motifs for how we understand the natural world or wilderness travel?

Consider what life might be like if there were less completion and more community, less asserting and more relating, less shouting and more listening, and maybe even less human and more more-than-humans.
