But when I think of NORTH, I think of the Pocono Mountains in eastern PA. Husband and I try to get up there for a week several times every year. I think of relaxation, walks on trails thru the area.

Stark in beauty. North is where the expression "Survival of the Fittest" no longer applies. Survival of the smartest is the rule. North – Harsh, cold, unforgiving. Stark in beauty.

I must de-lurk now to tell you many things....but the first is that I LOVE Great Sage! It was so cool to see you mention it and post a photo. What a wonderful restaurant it is. Beautiful atmosphere and fabulous food. I work right across the street from there! Yep, I'm a neighbor. I live in Columbia, too. I've been reading this blog for a while now, maybe a couple of years. Found it through other Columbia fiber blogs, if I remember correctly. I love your writing, your photography, your artistic skills with knitting and weaving. This has been one of my daily go-to websites! Like I said, I just felt the need at this time to leave a comment......we have much in common including knitting, weaving, yoga (things I am currently not doing but intend to get back too SOON!), spending time in the outdoors, dogs, and trying to improve our health with diet. Because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis, I have always been interested in alternative therapies. Right now I am exploring and having a BALL with online raw food communities (not 100% raw yet) like rawfu.com and Capital City Raw. I am also 100% gluten free. So thanks letting me share here. Keep up your good work! I look forward to reading more from your blog! Thanks for sharing the beautiful things in your life with us. All the best, Meredith Hi Lolly!

My dreams take me there climbing mountains to the edge of the ultimate North. Some one near to me that passed away came to me in a dream that he was coming to the North for me even though I did not know that he had died. It was the first time I climbed to the North in my dreams and I have done so many times after. There was a narrator that spoke in the end of the movie "Legends of the Fall" that the protagonist of the movie made his way to the North towards the veil between this world and the next. I have lived in Superior WI/Duluth MN. The Snow Queen is a very favourite story of mine since childhood. A.S. Byatt discusses a woman from the North who meets a man of the South in her short story "Cold" from her book titled Elementals. Joni Mitchell writes of her North in Canada where she goes to escape and create her art in many of her songs. I always wanted to go to Lapland and see the reindeer there.

Too bad the view north of our house is so ugly (it's the duplexes next door where the kids from hell live). I'm still going to go out today and try and find some beauty in the area north of my house!

I grew up in the Northeast, and now live in Baltimore, so North is home. My husband and I also have a home on a lake in Northern Michigan, so Up North is our sanctuary. My family is originally from northern Germany, and my favorite trip was a cruise through the Baltic Sea, which is certainly North. I love North, although I never thought about it in that way before.
