     "You build up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic." - Unknown

        I noticed that when I receive something, I end up losing something else. I wonder if it's in my fate or a common and usual condition for every broke man like me. You get paid with real money but you have to sell a family member. Well at least that's the case with the neighbors who live a mile away further  bit down the mountain.  

        I was exploring through the woods that are on the mountain I live on and today I felt deep in the core of the Earth. Why do the rich people get it all? Why is everything based on money? Why can't every person be born equally? I had these thoughts and questions traveling through my  mind as I was traveling up the mountain and through the thick woods. Its not that people in poverty don't work hard to reach a point where you could live comfortably and have everything that a human needs and some simple pleasures in life, like to eat chicken and to be educated. But some people give up and leave the rest in God or their miserable misfortune. But I do always be thankful for the  blessings like I live in an area where I can chop down wood to bring warmth in my little home that is also built from the trees here. If I am thirsty, I can always take my bucket outside and scoop up some snow then melt it. When someone thinks positively, life becomes so much easier even if it isn't.

         In my life there are only a few characters I love, my beloved wife, Aimee, whose name ironically means 'beloved one', my pack of arctic dogs, and my mountain goats. I was brought up by this beautiful lady named Majorie which means pearl.
