Die Geschichte eines Hundes
Immer geht irgendwo die Sonne auf; der Tau trocknet nie auf einmal; immer regnet es irgendwo; stets steigt Dunst auf. In die Berge gehen heißt nach Hause gehen. Besteige die Berge und empfange ihre guten Neuigkeiten. Erklimme die Berge und spüre die gute Energie. Der Friede in der Natur wird in dich fließen wie der Sonnenschein, der die Bäume nährt. Der Wind wird dich erfrischen, der Sturm dich mit Kraft erfüllen und alle deine Sorgen werden abfallen von dir, wie Herbstblätter. Und in den Wald gehe ich, um meinen Verstand zu verlieren und meine Seele zu finden. Bei jedem Spaziergang mit der Natur erhält jemand weit mehr, als er sucht. Von allen Wegen, die du in deinem Leben wählst, stelle sicher, dass einige von ihnen unbefestigt sind. Jeder braucht Schönheit genauso wie Brot, Orte zum Spielen und Beten, wo die Natur heilt, Körper und Geist stärkt. Wer die Wildnis liebt, für den ist Alaska eines der schönsten Länder Welt.
