Light in the North
It's June 16th at 10:43 and I'm still looking out at more than twilight. At this time of year we wake at 5:00am, drink very strong coffee (Black Raven, roasted in Whitehorse) and live 17 hour days.
The extremes stretch you, but there's a certain vibrancy to it. Today a number of my co-workers are riding the "Haines to Haines" relay bicycle race. It's not that we have a number of "Tour de France" aspirants... these people are housewives and husbands... but it's a chance to get out with friends, and try something, stretch a little, and remind themselves that within the body of a mother/ telecome manager/wife is the soul of an athlete, yearning for a shot at glory. How wonderful to live in a place where that hope is nurtured and valued, and given opportunity to to try to grow.
My day was comprised of building an outdooor shower for me and my children, who arrive from Provence, France this Thursday. Just like with the "Haines to Haines,"I think we need others to help us stretch our own lives, whether it means runnning a race, or building the outdoor shower you always wanted, but never had the excuse for.
