It is fascinating to read and I am sure you will not want to miss it! He is currently seeking a publisher. Ask me for more information.


Email 7 Nov 07, From Mark Richardson: His New Book Concerning His ZMM Route Experiences Has A Publisher!
Hi Henry and Ian:
I want you both to be first to know that my book Zen and Now was sold this week to Knopf, which will publish it simultaneously in the United States and Canada next September. This very fast turnaround is so that it will be published on the 40th anniversary of the original 1968 ride.
Knopf is one of Random House's most prestigious divisions. It will be published in paperback by Vintage.
*** Snip *** As before, I'll keep you in the loop about its progress and I hope to be able to send you a final version before publication. That's no longer my decision, of course, but I expect your feedback and comments on the manuscript will be welcomed. Your assistance and web sites will be properly acknowledged in the published book, of course. And if you want to go ahead now and mention on your sites that the book will be published next September by Knopf, that's fine.
All the best, and many, many thanks,
Mark R.

The ZMM Narrator emphasizes the beauty of the wild flowers, "In The Mountain High Country in Chapter 11. Here is what he said : ...."Wildflowers, everywhere! These and grasses and mosses and lichens are all that can live here, now. We’ve reached the high country, above the timberline." ..... " and then below this into week-old grass and then small wildflowers, the tiny pink and blue and yellow and white ones which seem to pop out, sun-brilliant, from black shadows. Everywhere it’s like this! Little pins of colored light shoot forth to me from a background of somber dark green and black. "

Because of this emphasis, I decided to take a photograph of every flower (or flowering weed) I saw the entire ZMM Route!

The ZMM Narrator emphasizes Redwing Blackbirds much in Chapter 1. Here is what he said.:.... "There’s a red-winged blackbird. .. I whack Chris’s knee and point to it. .. "What!" he hollers.
"Blackbird!" .. He says something I don’t hear. "What?" I holler back. .. He grabs the back of my helmet and hollers up, "I’ve seen lots of those, Dad!" .. "Oh!" I holler back. Then I nod. At age eleven you don’t get very impressed with red-winged blackbirds. .. You have to get older for that. …. (three pages later) …. "There! A huge flock of red-winged blackbirds ascends from nests in the cattails, startled by our sound. I swat Chris’s knee a second time—then I remember he has seen them before."

Since the ZMM emphasized them so much, I decided I would photograph every RWBB that I could get within my camera sights. I was surprised to find RWBBs practically the whole ZMM Route! The natural range of RWBBs must be all the northern USA, from Virginia to California!

So here are my flower and Red Winged Blackbird photos along ZMM Route. If you can help me with the names of any of flowers or have other interesting information, please contribute what you can: Names of Flowers, Stories, Photos, etc. Captions for all photos in this album will be completed as soon as possible.
