"Taking a Walk" by Dick Sederquist
Dick Sederquist has just published on Amazon his fourth memoir "Taking a Walk: Stories and Reflections on Pathways Old and New" (2022), which follows his previous memoirs "Hiking Out" (2007), "Inside and Outside" (2011), and "Hiking Out Again" (2021). Much of Dick's writing reflects and refers to his Unitarian/Universalist experience and values. The 100 short stories and reflections in "Taking a Walk" celebrate the challenges that come with everyday life, from missing the camp-side coffee specialty of a deceased friend, to encouraging a teary stranger bound for a job interview, to stories of his high school overindulgences, and to this avid hiker's own frustrations with his decreasing mobility. Each of Dick's essays is a postcard-sized memory of the unexpected joys and sorrows of life as seen through his unique prism.
