That Lakota compliment is wonderful. And I'm sure it's accurate. Keep going! I hope we meet again. Send our family's love to Keturah also.

This is something I'm very interested in, and it might be asking too much, but would it be possible for you to write about whatever vestiges of local/traditional music are still remembered in the North Country? Thank you and blessed Advent.

Your first words, your dream, brought me back to my youth in Alaska. A hard and beautiful place with more mystery than one could appreciate without the dreamworld. The second half brought me to my life now, older, and certainly more humbled. I am reminded to give thanks and reach for gratitude. Merry Christmas, the Lord has come!
