In case you ever wondered...

Yes, by the way, in case you have indeed wondered why I have chosen 'mountainmaid' as my blogger name, here is why. This is the song that explains so perfectly well what has always been my driving force. May it also be an inspiration to you.

MOUNTAIN MAN


Something deep inside of me
Kept me moving endlessly.
I could never really be free
As a valley man.
I traveled 'round, I tried to be
Somebody else but never me,
But then Jesus set me free,
Now I'm a mountain man.


Mountain man, mountain man,
We're going to walk hand in hand
Way up here where the air is fresh and clean
Mountain man, mountain man,
I'm going to love every soul that I can.
I'm just a proud, unworthy, but happy mountain man.



When I could not see the light,
There wasn't any reason to fight,
But now I'll fight with all my might
To stay a mountain man.
I realize that I can't see,
So I'll let Jesus speak for me
And I know I'll always be a
Fightin' mountain man.



Heal the sick and preach the Word,
The sweetest sound I ever heard;
Evolution is so absurd,
It's very plain to see.
Many come and many go,
People running to and fro,
To the valley they all go,
But I'm glad I'm a mountain man.


Mountain man, we're going to walk hand in hand
Way up here where the air is fresh and clean.
Mountain man, mountain man,
I'm going to love every soul that I can.
I'm just a proud, unworthy, but happy mountain man.


Love and prayers to all my fellow mountain men and mountain-men-to-be, Katja
