Beyond the Search

Beyond the Search chronicles the author's profound experiences and experiments with Truth, simplicity, self-sufficiency and the Spirit of Nature in New Mexico, Arizona and beyond. Although it is the sequel to In Search of Simplicity it is a complete volume in its own right. Beyond the Search describes in an enjoyable, easy-to-read style John and Lucia Haines' attempts to live the dream; to live simply, nobly and in harmony with nature and each other; to live an unfettered life, unplugged and disconnected from all forms of media, while remaining connected to the messages coming from nature and within. It is a story of challenges and adventures-from rattlesnakes and a devastating hailstorm to a an international gold mining company intent on developing an open pit mine on the other side of the fence. Beyond the Search is a triumph of the spirit. It is an inspiration to anyone wishing to live a little more simply, a little healthier and more connected with nature and each other.
