My Route
The yellow lines are my planned routes- one way up and another way back. From Washington State, up the length of British Columbia, through a corner of the Yukon, all the way to Denali National Park. The route leads over 2,200 miles one way through near-wilderness from temperate forests to boreal forest to tundra. How much wilder can you get?
Where will I stop? Who will I meet? How long will it take? What amazing sights will I see? What amazing experiences will I have? How will this solitary trip shift my spirit? So many exciting questions.
Wild Woman
I'll be off to the wilds for 3 weeks in about 3 weeks! I've been pondering that much time alone. I know what happens to me when I camp alone for many days. The wild woman emerges. I become one with the air, the water, the forest, the soil. I become the wolf, the bear, the raven, the salmon, the frog. My hair tangles and my scent becomes earth. I feel things not seen and hear the tiniest of sounds not heard. I can taste the air and smell the wild scents. My heart opens-I become feral. My spirit soars to new heights and my intuition strengthens. I feel stronger and wiser, wilder and bolder. I shift to me again.
Three weeks- the biggest question is will I civilize when I return?
