sorry for becoming a girl who posts spotify links but i’m talking about this in as many places as possible. literally the beginning of this makes me fucking insane
“I have a woman friend whose name is Mardie Murie, and she is 93 years old. And I think she has done more for Alaska than any other single human being. And it comes out of not only her love and the experience that she had in that great land and her love for that land but uh, her love for the man who was her husband, whose name was Olaus Murie. And when Olaus passed away, many, many years ago, the way that Mardie kept his love and her feeling for him alive in her heart was to commit herself to saving the land that they both loved so very, very much. I know a lot of things I could, I could tell you about Mardie but the thing I want to share with you is that she spoke of Olaus always as her beloved and they loved to dance, the Waltz, especially, and they danced whenever they could, whenever they felt like it, regardless of the conditions. And I have this picture of them out in the frozen tundra of Alaska in each other's arms dancing, and no music except the sound of the wind rushing across that frozen wasteland, or someplace in the forest, or someplace beneath the full moon. And so I wrote this song for Mardie.”
