A Returning Wind

A stressed-out man fed up with corporate life is trying to get back to nature. When he returns to his hometown in Arizona and reunites with family, he immerses himself in the tranquil desert landscape—much like native people had in the past—and writes about the awe of untouched wilderness in his journal. Soon he becomes obsessed with the messages in nature, so much so that his girlfriend is convinced he is losing it. Yet he is reassured when he meets a former monk who drinks a bit, who informs him that nature is at the core of religion and human spirituality. A number of unusual events occur, including a disturbance on Hopi land, but eventually the man discovers a few keys to understanding how reconnecting with nature can restore our out-of-balance world.
