Three Weeks Until I Hit the Pacific Crest Trail by Ken LaSalle, author of Heaven Enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxc36_Pz1IM&feature=em-subs_digest
Heaven Enough Is a poem about longing, about wishing for something more. “What would it be like if I had heaven enough?” it reads. Matt Murphy reads these words for the first time at his wife’s funeral. After a death shrouded with mystery, it is the first time he learns that she wrote poetry. He and Diva were married for nearly twenty years, yet he did not “know” her. A poet and lover of culinary delights, she is struck by a car and killed instantly—randomly—on the wrong side of town. When her brother, the “monk,” appears for the funeral, Matt is set on an unprecedented course. The two find Diva’s computer filled with preparations to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Over 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada…and she was leaving without her husband. Matt takes it upon himself to hike the trail and sprinkle her ashes along the way. What happens in the first two hours is dumbfounding. What happens next changes his life forever…
