“I RECALL STEPPING FROM THE HOT SUNSHINE INTO A COOL DARKNESS UNLIKE wrote in the preface, “the story of a hidden realm of delicate beauty, of a wilderness that deserves our understanding and our protection, of a surprising universe that lies just beneath the surface of the world.” Published in 1999, his next book, Dark Life, takes a look at the ongoing quest to discover life both deep underground and in distant space. The National Geographic Society published his third book, Caves: Exploring Hidden Realms, in 2001. This coffee-table-sized volume, a companion to the IMAX film, Journey into Amazing Caves, is the “story of those caves, of a few of the people who dared to explore them, and of the scientific discoveries and remarkable images brought to the Earth’s surface of these unseen subterranean worlds.” The photos are stunning, equally matched by Taylor’s vivid descriptions of the risks and rewards encountered by these modern-day explorers. His most recent book, published earlier this year by Vanderbilt University Press, is titled Hidden Nature: Wild Southern Caves. Written in his easy-to-read style, it’s the captivating story of a rich underground wilderness and the wonderful assortment of characters who feel compelled to push through the vast unexplored depths of the region. When asked if folks who have absolutely no desire to go caving would be interested in his latest book, Taylor responds, “There is something in it that will relate to your natural world. Nature is fascinating. You can vicariously enjoy many of the thrills of discovery in Hidden Nature.” For Taylor, that introduction to Ruby Falls many, many years ago was a life-changing experience. For one thing, he’s made dozens of friends across the globe. “Cavers are a very eclectic bunch,” he says, “even odd on occasion. Sometimes you’re putting your life in the hands of these friends. They’re very self-reliant, often with a bit of swagger. Caving is a great equalizer. When you’re all covered in mud, everybody’s the same.” Caving helps him fulfill a sense of adventure. “It’s about exploration,” he says. “It’s that chance to see something no other human in history has seen.” He’s also found that his many hours underground have given him time to reflect. “Caves are a great place to ponder life, death and aging.” Those subterranean hours have also imparted an important lesson: “What’s happening beneath the surface of Earth is often an indicator of the health of our planet.” Now in his 60s, Taylor doesn’t spend as much time underground as he did in his earlier days. “That young guy in those photos isn’t as skinny as he once was,” he says, adding that his knees aren’t as forgiving. Yet, he plans to honor invitations to go caving in England and Switzerland when he can fit those trips into his busy schedule. He’s enthusiastic about a cave documentary he and some Henderson State University students have been working on, a project they’ll restart once the pandemic situation settles down. In addition, he hopes to pursue some television opportunities in the near future to stimulate the public’s interest in and appreciation for caves. And with the encouragement of some of his Henderson colleagues, Taylor is also well into the draft of a novel, an effort he’s returned to after a long hiatus. It’s a thriller involving the oil industry and — you guessed it — caves. For folks interested in exploring the underground, check out the “If You Want to Go Caving” chapter near the end of Hidden Nature. Taylor also notes that several of the commercial caves in Arkansas offer exciting “wild cave tours,” far removed from the paved paths, electric lights and troupes of tourists. For additional information, he suggests that potential cavers spend some time at the www.caves.org website.

ANY SPACE I HAD EVER ENTERED ... THE COLORS WERE STRANGE AND OTHERWORLDLY.” Michael Ray Taylor. (Lea Ann Alexander)
A stumbled-upon pictograph under the earth. Taylor is especially appreciative of the administration and his fellow instructors at Henderson. His bosses have encouraged him to go out and continue perfecting his chosen craft of journalism — that is to research firsthand and write about his experiences. This approach, he says, keeps him on his toes and allows him to be a more effective instructor. Although he does most of his caving during the summer when he’s not teaching, his colleagues have graciously stepped in and covered his classes on those rare occasions when a unique opportunity arose. Taylor is also a big fan of Arkadelphia. When he and his wife first moved to the community more than 30 years ago, they assumed their stay would be short-lived, never imagining it would become home. “This is a small, peaceful town where everybody knows everybody,” he says. And when the next invitation arrives for him to participate in another major spelaean exploration, “the Little Rock airport’s only an hour away.” Now, about The Cat Manual book. Taylor says his family has always had cats and enjoys their antics. When a feline pet would do something strange or unexpected, one of the boys would shrug and invariably say, “That’s in the cat manual.” At some point, his sons suggested that he actually write a book with that title. Noting one of his colleague’s success with an e-book, Taylor opted to do the same, using humor to explain typical cat behavior — things like avoiding trips to the vet, bringing in their prey, dealing with thunderstorms and techniques for waking up humans, all written from a cat’s point of view. Available on Kindle, The Cat Manual has proven popular enough with cat fanciers that Taylor is getting a monthly royalty check — no surprise, given that it’s been downloaded more than 75,000 times. And it’s also available as an audiobook, with Taylor providing the narration. Yep, he’s a Renaissance Man. Definitely. aymag.com
