I grew up on the Kenai Peninsula and your writing is so evocative that I was back there instantly hearing the “kitty wake kitty wake kitty wake” cacophony from the kittiwakes and the striking formations of the crane migrations overhead. Kachemak Bay still runs in my bloodstream even in all the far away places where my adult body has lived and loved. Thank you for transporting me back through your words and the details of all the things that delighted you. Claim it all, my friend. Claim it all!
So good, it hurts and thrills at the same time. I've only been to Alaska once, and had a life-altering misadventure there near Gustavus, and so it meant so much to read something that actually evokes what Alaska is.
Took a lounger with some fresh sun tea and wondered through your words, mapped you whereabouts and dreamed if I'd ever make it that far. Enjoy the fish from the sea, sounds delicious. Shelter! 💯💥
This is so beautiful, it made me cry. I am one of those who loves to wander by myself in the wild. Thank you for sharing your time there with these soul words, these images, all an open heart surgery for me. P.S., I love your nomad shelter. I have built similar shelters in various places, too, for centuries.

Thank you for this magical ode to Homer, my home during the final three years in Alaska. You’ve captured its spirit wonderfully ✨🐋🦦🌲

Beautiful! And I loved your phrase “And when I choose to people…”
