Tongas Rainforest-The Weather-Grin and Bear





Great Black Bear is walking with us, Pink Salmon swimming upstream with us, as we stroll Creek street...






My mind is like compost. 
 




"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."

 I pledge allegiance to the soil of Ketchikan Island, one ecosystem in diversity under the sun With joyful interpenetration for all. ...
Raindrops keep falling on my head
... I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me..

The Etiquette of Freedom
 In Alaska, there are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, like me, I drink hot chocolate.   Learning about the bears and the bees  and the flowers and the trees is not just community college  science or nature boy social studies — it's local etiquette. It's rude not to know your neighbors, you know?

'Off the Trail' is another name for the Way, and sauntering off the trail is the practice of the wild. That is also where--paradoxically--we do our best work. But we need trails and paths and will always be maintaining them. You must first be on the path, before you canturn and walk into the wild."-The Practice of The Wild GS
