This was an absolutely beautiful narrative. Your writing illustrates so effortlessly how our experiences are a context that shape our worldviews. Thank you for sharing something so personal.

It was fun to read about this Norwegian adventure and how it purged fear, allowing you to step into your next stage of life...I giggled about the sheep. Haha. I remember being in Scotland and hiking through a field. The sheep were following me. Fast! I wondered the same thing. As a solo hiker since the age of 13, I agree that there is so much fear that society breeds into us. We have to overcome all the old wiring and continue to live the adventures we are called into :)

Great story, Carolyn. Brought back memories of the years I hitchhiked and slept under the stars in California. It seems you travelled far and wide to some incredible places. Wonder full.
