Starting with a dream of moving to Alaska.
I have to remind myself daily, sometimes hourly, the dream is the beginning. The hows are not for me to worry about. The dream is the most important, and everyday I have to take one step toward it.
Today I looked around and realized I do not need anything here but my cats. And if I could sleep on a sofa bed for ten years I can sleep anywhere.
Where I want to go in Alaska is far up way past the Arctic Circle, to the coldest part of the country. I am not sure how I will get there but I do know I will get there! A couple of the things I think about are food, shelter, and water. Back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
I do know I do not need much, and for the most part I do not eat meat so guess what guys, I will not have to shoot any animals, I hope. I will have to learn how to eat more fish though....
There are so many things to look forward to.
Looking out and seeing nothing but mountains. Watching the animals coming past.
I have no wilderness training or even survival training but I do believe our natural instincts allow those traits to come out when needed.
Why? Why would I want to give up all of civilization to trek into the wilderness? I am not sure however, I do know this is not working in my heart. I know the idea of moving there has put an excitement into me which has not been there since I was getting ready to move to the Florida Keys. A kind of wanderlust which rests in my soul. This is the first time I am on my own, totally on my own, no relationship to tie me down and I am free to follow my heart and soul. Where that will lead me I am not sure but the excitement I feel is beyond anything I have ever felt in any other time.
I have learned when there is another person involved all kinds of feelings are hurt along the way and it ends up destroying the relationship. Maybe if I find another soul with the wanderlust and sense of adventure I have it could work, but for the now it feels great to follow my dreams. Which one of them is moving to the Alaska Arctic Circle.
