Abstract
The author records his sensory and interpretive experiences as he spends time in the Haliburton Highlands one winter. Working from the sense of being integrated as part of the Universal Cosmos and the feeling of interdependence while "reading the land" once held important by the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and others peoples, he begins by relating his memories of growing up in the Lake Temagami bioregion and the many ways his senses became ingrained with the environment.
Travelling in the Haliburton Highlands in 1998, these skills of "reading the land" are transferred to a new area and his experiences are related as he walks several areas of the region observing the biodiversity at his feet.
