Paddle Pilgrim: An adventure of learning and spirit, kayaking

Paddle Pilgrim: An adventure of learning and spirit, kayaking the Mississippi River

â‚¬Å“It had been on my bucket-list since I was a boy and read Huck Finn,â‚¬Â reports Dave Ellingson, college professor and pastor, who paddled the entire Mississippi River in his kayak during the summer of 2012. Paddle Pilgrim chronicles this â‚¬Å“adventure of a lifetimeâ‚¬Â and recounts experiences from basking in a sublime sunset in Minnesota to dancing with a snake on an Arkansas sandbar. In addition to painting a kaleidoscope of vivid word pictures of river scenery, Ellingson writes movingly about the â‚¬Å“interior landscapesâ‚¬Â of solitude, silence, prayer, and communion with creation. â‚¬Å“What began as an adventure led to learning and ultimately to spiritual pilgrimage!â‚¬Â he says. Ellingson teaches courses in spirituality, environmental ethics, human development, and youth ministry at Trinity Lutheran College in Everett, Wash. He is a Lutheran pastor, Master Gardener, former distance runner and triathlete, and father of five grown children. He resides in Edmonds, Wash.
