- As sun progresses across the sky the forest changes, it is alive and I am now apart of that aliveness breathing, healing, living with it.
-
- working on getting into the present of where I am. Get out where I have been or where I may go. This close up of the moss helps make me aware of how small we are in a large space.

- sitten here updating the files titles and resting .
-
- Found a dirt road off the highway and followed it a mile up and over a ridge. Just walked away from the road and set up camp.
-
- Looking out from where the camp the forest is thick, not so thick as it appears from the road . I walked about a 50 yards from the camp into the woods, then turned and looked back and did not see the tent or tarp. Walked looking for berries a little ways. When I turned around to go back to the camp I followed my trail back for a few yards, then just struck out in the general direction. Well I took 20 more minutes to find the camp again. Only because I could walk to the dirt road past the camp and then find it from the road. With out the road for a guide, I might still be looking for the camp until the next day. Nice sobering thought.

- Again the view up gives you another feel.
-
- The sun finds the way to the ground at 9 pm at night .
-
- Then all of a sudden this remote un touched by anyone else spot is not. Under the Moss is a Coke can flatened down – another look shows sawed off tree stumps – some else has been in this same spot at another time. The feel and presence of this space in the wilderness changes. It has a human history now, a past along with my presence. This now is connected to the eternity of past, present and future of me and a community of others. We all share a commonness now, this place in the forest.
-
- today this place where I am at is just as intergrated as the coke can and long ago presence of others to being in town or at home in the wilderness.
