Sharing Alaska's Other Gold

Alaska's summer has been generous, especially when providing an excellent "red" sockeye salmon season.  The reward was tackle busting excitement with fly rod and future pleasures from the BBQ extending beyond summer's green.    -  Doug

While helping a friend prepare for a garage sale display on his driveway a silent visitor helped himself to a container of discarded milk.  The young adult scavenger approached from the rear and was without shame.  Black bear are frequently viewed throughout Mr. Connolly's neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska.    -  Doug

Independence, Security, and Freedom

Happy 4th of July! 

A word about independence and freedom on Independence Day. Specifically, what is the role of independence at a personal level in regards to intimacy (closeness)? Being independent should not exclude the need or desire for others but include feeling supported by others. To be independent at the price of an emotionally nourishing connection that includes support lacks the feeling of being emotionally secure. To have both is the road to caring and freedom.   -   Doug
