Alaska Is:
Alaska is mind-bending. No matter
how many times you stare out at the immense mountains, forests, and rivers, gaze
through a window at a moose bull grazing by the road, or rock gently on a boat
on a fjord watching the puffins, ptarmigans, and sea lions, you never understand
just exactly what you are seeing. Our capacities as humans are dwarfed in untold
amounts by the beauty and might of the Alaskan landscape and wildlife. My hope
is that our generation and those following us will refrain from the 'progress'
we are so accustomed to and can learn to respect the lands, creatures, and ecosystems
so lovingly given to us by God. Alaska is unimaginable.
