Stretching Beyond the Line

Our lives are filled with lines. Lines on a map. Lines on a ball field. Lines on a calendar. Even lines of ancestry.

Peter Cashwell maintains that we use such points of demarcation to divide up the world in ways often much more imaginary than real.

You might just find your mind stretching far beyond the usual lines as we spend time with this teacher, historian, philosopher, bird-watcher, back-roads traveler, and author of the new book Along Those Lines.
