Tending the well yesterday in McCarthy, Alaska, where the cycles of the natural world are in peace- a place preserved as the largest National Park in the US.

road & trail free. Here the natural rhythms are as they have been for the past 10,000 or more years- home of the Athna people, where salmon are running the Copper River, & bears are foraging.

The drama of the rest of the world subsides as I sit at the glacier toe, listening to the water drip and tumble of rocks into the glacial lake.

Peace within, Peace without… aho.
