Every human enters this life and begins a journey. The path travelled is
unique to each individual, and for some, the main streets and popular
thoroughfares provide all that's needed to nourish a life well lived -
food, fuel, friendship, family. For others, though, there is a desire -
in fact, a need - for something more. In the form of a wandering,
lyrical, autobiographical narrative, world-renowned horseman Klaus
Ferdinand Hempfling exposes the inner turmoil, the burning questions,
the fear, the doubt, and the darkness that pushed him off the roads most
travelled in search of answers. In search of meaning. As he reflects on
cultures past and his present surroundings, his words linger on visual,
sensual, and inspirational clues, bringing his personal experiences
alive on the page in emotional detail. His thoughts string together like
clicking beads, brilliantly illustrating the passage of time and the
interconnectivity of all beings. And ultimately, Hempfling comes to a
truth, which for him brings heaven and earth into sharp focus. It is the
horses that show him the way.
