In There, Like Here

Not Just Relief(going to the woods):

Sometimes one needs to go to the deep woods for a prolonged period just to learn, nothing to accomplish, and bringing as little as necessary. Then find a way to be there, be it 4 or 40 days. seems this can be done in your backyard or the ends of the earth, all required is to get in ones body and out of ideas about getting back to your body.

Some of us come from a place really close to the dirt because of the time and place we were born, just our lot in life.  Maybe it’s time for us who can sleep on it, the dirt and like it, to treat it like our grand babies depended on it.

There has been a long lapse in  notes on this site since I came back from the PCT the second time. It has taken a while to heal my body and my head. The body was straight forward-sit let the displaced toes, blisters, and giardiasis heal-they did. The head was a different item. I want to know what I saw there for the first time in my 64 years was as real as i thought? I’ll get back on that-seems it was.
