I think the theme of White Rabbit was that being prepared is key to feeling confident and open to enjoying one's travels. Keith is so prepared that she can handle whatever unexpected events pop up in her travels, and enjoy herself regardless. She knows exactly how to handle herself and the situation, which allows her to feel confident on her journey.
The language Keith uses conveys a tone of certainty. I loved the way she used varied sentence structure to convey her confidence in herself: "I have followed the tracks of rabbits and birds, foxes and deer, moose, and humans. I have followed my own tracks." (1). I also enjoyed how her language didn't romanticize the climbing, even though you could still tell she enjoyed it. For instance, "I start down. Down is harder than up." (5.) She doesn't put too much emphasis on reaching the top of the mountain, her real concern is the entirety of the climb, both up and down.
