Thank you!

A Cabin Deep in the Alaskan Woods

September 13, 2022 in Adventure Destinations

The pilgrimage starts

Across the bay, through the woods

To our interim home

Bushwhacking our way

Through reconquering alders

and crossing a creek

We step back in time.

Void of electricity

and running water

A sanctuary

from daily interruptions

to reset our lives.

A space to reflect

with room to contemplate meaning

to return, grounded.
