I JUST WANTED TO BE FREE

BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN
Had I truly envisioned where this crazy path would twist, I may well have started writing earlier on. Nonetheless, living came first--mostly so renegade & raw I've yet to sort it all out--the lessons too close to the bone for the necessary dispassion.

I forget when I put my gamble on words, but after three years horseback in the Rockies, and then three decades trapping & guiding in Alaska, writing came as natural as the adventure. So what if it's been rough-broke trail, ''least I've got a story to tell instead of just a stack of old time-cards.

THE WHEEL -- or karmic train wrecks and other cosmic circles that won't slow down
Sunday, 23 November 2008 | W.J. Lynus O'Brien

THE WHEEL -- or karmic train wrecks and other cosmic circles that won't slow downI knew it was going to be rough trail when I left Alaska, even well before I made tracks for the Southland. But I left all the same--walked away from 35 years of gatherin's in complete disarray--my old school bus where I was always suppose to have a place in town to come to, my guide camp deep in the Alaska bush, my beloved mountains, my life.
