On a walk one day, I met a man who created a unique life in the woods. It was made by his hands from the bounty of Mother Earth, all wet and gooey, with hints of all the seasons of the year rolled into one place. It was there to be shared, experienced and, in a sense, cherished. Given the chaotic way of the world today, it was something to behold and admire, to see another person utterly full of life, living simply. Bill Coperthwaite was a master when it came to yurts. He lived life on his own terms. He was unique in every way and so was his life.
