where I come from, the challenges are quite different. There are
no ... drug dealers, or pimps, few thieves to bother with. There
is only the environment. And surviving in the face of it is the
challenge ... of the inuit. A mother gives birth somewhere out on a
glacier field, hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost. And she
knows, that the odds are stacked against her son even living to
see the Spring. Disease, or lack of food, the elements. And even
if they should survive, and if he should grow to be a boy, she
knows very well that all he has to do is lose his footing on the
smooth surface of a glacier. And that'll be that. In other words,
she should know ... that her son ... cannot live. So ... why should
she try?
Well I know this woman. I helped deliver her son. She was weak and
... undernurished. But the next moring, she stood up, and she
picked her child up into her arms, and ... and she set out again
into the blinding snow. And I think ... I think that was ... the
single most courageous act, that I've ever seen.

Actually it depends,
The questions not all that clear.
If your wondering who the Narrator was, the one watching, I'd venture my guess to be Gawd.
If your wondering who the "Woman" is I'd venture my giess to be "Mother Earth"
If both are wrong I'd venture my (_!_) right out of the door!

It's from a t.v. show that used to come on. They only made 63 episodes (those bastards). It was called Due South, about a Canadian Mounty that comes to Chicago on the trail of his father's killer. He has a wolf, and is partners with an 'typical' Chicago Detective. Anyway, the post was just a quote from one of the episodes ... The Mounty was talking about a woman he knew from Canada that gives birth out in the wilderness, and against all odds, begins to trek back home ...
Sometimes, life feels like that. Like the odds are too great, that the burdensome load of the world on our shoulders will cause us to collapse under it's weight, and that it will crush us. And we know that the likeliness of us accomplishing a certain goal, or the chance of us getting out alive are slim to none. Sometimes when I feel like that, I look at this little piece, and it makes me feel a little better. Kinda like my own little prayer for strength, I guess. Overcoming adversity, man against the world ...
Can usually download the mp3 if you look for "Due South/The Inuit", if you're interested.
Cheers,
