This short essay on the genesis of my environmental novel Mountain Calls was written for the Dark Mountain blog. It details the journey to the Rax – the last peak in the Austrian Alps – that inspired the novel. I describe the sense of communicating with the mountain, a place I have been repeatedly 'called' to.
Keywords: nature, ecology, spirituality, philosophy, Vienna Circle.
