hard sun...and I am taking a journey back in time...

I saw the movie 'Into the Wild", and I was reminded of a younger lass...who took two suitcases...and a dream to Alaska. Would she be able to live on pure faith? Would she be able to find what her heart dared to find? Would she sleep under the big sky...with the Northern Lights to comfort? Would she walk the streams...fish the deep...or land in a quiet meadow...with wild flowers for a bed. The lass would explore her world...camping...alone...one campsite to another...for three months she wandered around...searching for the answer...What brought her to the place of the wild...and tame...of mountains...and of glaciers deep. She would stay a long time...with family joining in...and when it was her time to leave...she moved again...this time with three suitcases...a dream...and many stories...to tell around the campfire...

So...when I saw this movie...I remembered the younger Lass...who journeyed to that wild place...and made a life...one day at a time...

If you haven't seen the movie...do...and to my Alaskan friends and family...it is still a land...full of promise...hardship...and most of all...the last great place for finding what is in each of us...primal...and born to live...in a world of splendor and hope...

so...enjoy...



It is a big hard world...yes indeed it is.

Love,
The Lass
