Ruth 1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
(Self-evident re-iteration of what it takes to survive in a world where we have all wandered away from home.)
2. The Biography of a Grizzly
By A Customer (Amazon.com)
I acquired this book at age 9-10. Now, at age 75, I really miss it (it was "borrowed" 20-30 yrs ago). My nostalgic memory is of a haunting,memorable, and very literate tale of an excellent bear-person, who resolutely faces what life offers; infancy & vulnerability; growth & education, maturity & strength, suffering fools and agressors, and finally, decline and mortality. Seton's magic is to dissolve completely the artificial barrier between nature's creatures and ourselves.(A paradigm novel that deeply influenced my own ideas about the struggle to survive and at the same time find yourself in the process . . .
