Wild Roads

[createdestiny]

Yesterday I finished reading Cheryl Strayed's memoir, Wild. She hiked the Pacific Crest Trail by herself when she was twenty-six years-old, reeling with grief from her mother's untimely death by cancer. I began reading this book six days after my mother found out that her breast cancer has recurred, this time in the bone of her mid humeral shaft.

You sure managed to pack a ton of stuff into this one not-very-lengthy post. Very interesting, this gathering of thoughts.

Every time I read one of your essays I think "I want to write like that when I grow up." Hopefully some day I will grow up.
