Into the Wild

Details

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to live in the woods. I think I was first inspired by Grizzly Adams on TV…but the thought has always been there.

What I have been longing for is a life out of the societal norm…where there is no use for money, only hard work. I recently saw the film, “Into The Wild” and can’t get it out of my mind. That has been my dream for so long now. I would love to go and do the same thing, though hopefully not with the same ending.

I have hitchiked, learned carpentry and built a small house single-handedly, learned how grow plants from both seed and propagation, fished, and developed a good sense of problem-solving…

My only fear in doing this right this second is the pain of lonliness that I might feel after months or even years of solitude. I’m afraid of going stark crazy mad out there alone. My real fear is not of trying and failing—but of never trying at all.

This makes me wonder if there is anyone else out there who would like to do this journey, into the wild as well? I don’t take this lightly…this is a great desire of mine and one I’m sure I’ll live out, though when, I’m not exactly sure yet.

If I sound like yourself, or you know of someone, a group, or a WEBSITE for those who also share my vision, please post and let me know. I can’t tell you how appreciative I would be.

Thanks for reading…God bless!

John
