Tom has walked the woods for game and for the nuorishment of his soul since he was a boy. In this collection of columns Bryant reflects on his lifetime of time in the outdoors to share the lessons one learns on the way to mature adulthood including: 
-Concentration of the mind- from the weight of a 100 pound canoe dropped six inches and pinning you fingers on the car boat rack in 15 degree temperature.
-Planning ahead- from the exhilaration and terror of you and some other lost soul stumbling down a 70 degree incline you have never seen before in the dead of night with a conoe on your shoulders towards, and hopefully not into, the Haw River- to go duck hunting. 
-Long Range Planning- from meticulous construction of the ultimate duck blind on the downstream end of a long narrow island in the Haw completed a week before a storm surge leave no trace of it.

At 34, a man missed a red-light and every single thing about Murray Dunlap's life changed. Because of the wreck, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury; he spent three months in a coma, a year in a wheelchair, and more using a walker. He was a married writer about to start a new career as an English teacher, but their marriage could not survive the confusion and amnesia. When asked, he did not know he was married.Proof is an intimate journey from trauma to recovery and acceptance through love, faith, and understanding. His poetry is a first-hand account of the pain of loss--of love, belief, and a former life--the struggles of healing, and the uncertainty of starting over. It is a personal triumph celebrating the joys of finding love and spirituality again. With poignantly honest and genuine poetry, Murray Dunlap captures the beauty of strength and the transcendence of tragedy.
