Recently I
visited a friend in northern Minnesota and marveled at the peace and
tranquility of the region. Solitude is a
sacred word to me, and I found it there.
At one point we drove farther north to Duluth, which is on the north
shore of Lake Superior. Along with
Superior, Wisconsin, it forms the Twin Ports.
Duluth was named after Daniel Greysolon, Le Sieur du Luth, a French
explorer who lived from 1639-1710. He must have been thrilled with his
discovery.
I’ve
included some photos of the Duluth harbor area, as well as the region south of
there, where the deer contentedly roam and search for food. I could have watched and observed them for
hours. May Sarton, a prolific American
writer sums up my feelings best:
“Whatever peace I know rests in the natural world, in feeling myself a
part of it, even in a small way.”
