"Did you ever come to a place and instantly recognize it as your ultima thule, the one spot in all God's world where you belonged, where your roots could go deep into the soil which would forever nourish you; where inspiration and spirtitual blessing welled up from the earth to top the tallest tamarack, spread to the encasing bowl of sky, return on every waterway to feed you everlastingly? Such a spot, so it seemed to me, was Priest Lake, in Idaho."
