Unlike the stuff that just comes flapping, scrambling, or appearing unexpectedly in view outside.

After all, my other great life passions have been literature and the performance art of music—neither of which is commonly viewed as a personality trait generally found in those who'd rather wade backcountry trout streams and ramble around around in the backwoods. And yet the outdoors has run like a crystalline stream though my days, across every phase of my life, and I could no sooner give it up than I could forego breathing. Both would eventuate the same end. Aldo Leopold once said, “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” I certainly cannot. Whether it's a choice or coded into the DNA of who we are as individuals, I don't know…but I know for me it's been there always. A reason for my heart to continue beating. Like your father, I fit in here. I'm comfortable in my skin, at ease in my surroundings, at home. And no matter what I'm doing inside, the world beyond the walls and windows calls, whispering, cajoling, dividing my attention.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-26676563702281048412013-01-14T16:57:43.446-05:002013-01-14T16:57:43.446-05:00Johanna…

Your passion for nature is more than a hobby or distraction—it's a way of life, a choice if you will—and it always reminds me of my father as a younger man. My father was an alcoholic who didn't stop drinking until his early forties, and the thing that saved him, in my opinion, was the glory of nature. It was in nature that he found a conversation worth having. It was also the one place where he truly found a "home," a place where he discovered a profound sense of both being and belonging.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-20536343573212444862013-01-14T16:05:50.903-05:002013-01-14T16:05:50.903-05:00Wanda…
