These provocative essays by Hank Messick provide some answers to Edward Abbey's question. Messick thinks about his past as an investigative reporter, its dangers and frustrations, but he also thinks about the meaning of things as he encounters new problems while building a life in an isolated valley near the Arizona - New Mexico boundary, once the home of Cochise and Geronimo. With affection and humor Messick describes the landscape and wildlife of the Southwest, but his essays probe deeper. They deal seriously with age, loss, and change. Messick may not believe in Heaven, but his essays display a kind of faith-tempered by experience-in the future and in the same goals that inspired him in his youth. In his foreword, Steve Allen, a serious student of crime as well as a great entertainer, portrays Messick as an unsung hero. Messick's essays display that kind of courage and strength. As a model for productive retirees, his sense of adventure is inspiring. Not everyone will want to continue to seek out challenges as Messick does, but nearly everyone will enjoy reading about them. This is largely a personal chronicle by crime reporter Messick. It is also a philosophical perspective of retirement in the Arizona desert. He writes of the people, the animal creatures, and the close shots brought to focus.
