In her book called Dakota, Kathleen Norris, a best-selling writer and poet, tells how she and her husband, also a writer, moved away from the heady literary atmosphere and advantages of New York City to one of the most remote towns in America, Lemmon, South Dakota. She relates how most of her friends were shocked by their contemplated move. The prospects for even reasonable survival as thinking persons seemed as remote as the little town they chose to live in. But Kathleen Norris subtitled her book "A Spiritual Geography," because it was in that sparse geography that she found her own spirit more than ever. In Lemmon, South Dakota, she blossomed as the person and writer she suspected she could be. Most of her self-discovery was pleasing and would have been impossible had she insisted on remaining in the "safe" literary environment of New York. Jesus says, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom," and we might add, "kingdoms you never dreamed possible." People find this out when they take the plunge. What are we afraid of?
