Description:
At 26, after a lover threatened to shoot me, I ran away to Alaska. In the Last Frontier, I landed in a love triangle with two wild alcoholics. At 35, I ran again, to backpack around the world alone. This memoir explores my path to self-destruction during 9 years in Alaska and my yearlong trek to seek recovery, and discovery. The title was inspired by a praying mantis in Thailand. The book is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”

“We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead.”

Politics... culture... history... aren't those natural ingredients in any story, if it's told well? I mean...' He looks around, sees hostile eyes, and realizes dimly that they see this as some sort of attack. Maybe it even is. They are thinking, he realizes, that maybe there is a sexist death merchant in their midst. 'I mean... can't you guys just let a story be a story?”

“An adventure is never an adventure when it happens. An adventure is simply physical and emotional discomfort recollected in tranquility.”

Is with the tide unto an other brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”
