Hiraeth, a longing or homesickness "It is difficult to define hiraeth, but to me it means the consciousness of man being out of his home area and that which is dear to him. That is why it can be felt even among a host of peoples amidst nature's beauty; like a Christian yearning for heaven." --D. Martyn Lloyd Jones

Oh, don't you have deciduous trees in the Yukon?
You're more than welcome to come and stay with us for about four weeks--we have lots of leaves to share! In fact, we put out 110 of the big, brown leaf bags last year, so we could use the help!
Here's an idea:
Charming, cozy accomodations, gourmet food, lots of laughs, plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. Deep theological discussions and a pretty good library. Yes, I'm pretty sure we have everything here necessary for a "spa experience." Except a massage therapist.
You should come.

Deciduous, but no hardwoods, and the leaves are long gone by now.
Ha! Everything sounded great until I got to the "no massage therapist part....
