This is a collection of aphorisms, nature notes and essays written over a period of 17 years by river guide, artist and storyteller Sam Richardson.
Most of them were written in a little cabin on Rough Run Creek near Terlingua in the Big Bend country of far West Texas, not far from the Rio Grande.
Twelve months, twelve lessons, each lesson tied to a month of the year.
