Author Dr. Lawrence Winkler, now a medical professor on Vancouver Island, Canada, from whom you would not expect sentences like these:
.
“Tip the world on one side & everything loose will land in Los Angeles”,
.
“We honed the fine art of stuffing a Falafel, so a dollar could last all day” or

Orion's Cartwheel
In the summer of 1980, a maverick young doctor gave it all up, to hitchhike around the world. The first arc he carved with his thumb stopped a little red pickup that took him over the horizon. Like his mythical hunter companion, Orion, he was on a vision quest, propelled toward the dawn to have his sight restored. This is the story of a five-year odyssey to discover his destiny.

About the Author
As a medical professor, Lawrence Winkler never guessed that casual backyard observation would become a catalogue, and then an anthem, and then a lyrical chronicle of the science and poetry of nature. He landed on a world of narrative non-fiction writing, from which there was no escape....
His other passions include viticulture, travel, gardening, mushroom foraging, music, Japanese art, and efforts at local environmental stewardship.
