At The Back of The North Wind


This is a poem I wrote today after I finished ATBTNW. The only good part about this poem is that it is honest and it rhymes, which should be obvious seeing as I rhymed the first stanza with the same word twice. If you haven't read the book, you should. I now see why C.S. Lewis thought George McDonald was such a good writer.



At The Back of The North Wind:

I am selfish to depths unknown,
Having forgotten even family I’ve known,
Having not uttered a word nor utterance about them,
I’ve gone away and left them,

So now I will lift up prayers instead,
And pray their souls be kept while in bed,
I know I can’t do much for them here,
But You Lord can be far and also near,

So hold them tight within your arms,
Letting them only experience helpful harm,
I also ask that in the end,
They might lie with you,
At The Back of The North Wind.

I miss you all.

My new place and Hesha!

So, I have a room I stay in on the weekends that I rent. But, before that I want you to meet the puppy of the house, Hesha! She's so cute! She's half German Shepard and half Husky.

This next video is a quick tour of my house. Its surpisingly nice for only $150/month, let me know if you need a place to stay!

I hope that gives a good idea of what's going on in my life. Things are great here. Come out for a visit or a hike on the AT!
