I like this quote. "Emerson once remarked that even the thoughts of turtle are turtle". Every living being, no matter how seemingly insignificant or simple, has its own unique nature and way of thinking. We need to appreciate and respect the individuality and characteristics of all creatures, no matter how small or unassuming they may appear.

I almost married an Icelandic woman many years ago. You story revives images of just such a woman. She was a warrior. A Viking.

The people of Iceland are my ancestors, and the stubborn desire to be independently self-sufficient remains in their descendants in Canada.

Only a true Jomsviking can read the amount of work that you do. Makes perfect sense.
