What exactly does that mean? It’s the term we’ve chosen in order to try and wrap our minds around the fact that no one on any sides of our families have chosen to homestead in the last 150 years except us.

And sometimes that can make the rocky and unknown path seem absolutely insurmountable. How do you express in words the fact that you yearn for a road you’ve never even seen, that leads to a place you’ve also never seen, let alone even begin to describe what that place is?
