The Sunday Read: ‘Why We Take Animal Voyages’
For Sam Anderson, a staff writer, traveling with animals can lead to enlightening experience. In this essay for The New York Times Magazine, Mr. Anderson explores what he has learned from a lifetime of voyaging with animals, and what it means to connect with another creature: bridging spiritual, physical and even temporal distances, and reaching into “something like evolutionary time.” “An animal voyage,” Mr. Anderson writes, “is special because it requires us to make many journeys all at once.” This story was written and narrated by Sam Anderson.
