It was a chilly night, but i am now sweating profusely. I lose my jacket. Much better. I take my boots off and dig my toes into the dirt. MUCH BETTER. My fear has now subsided. I feel a welcoming breeze wrap around me like the embrace of a lover. Safe. Loved. Understood. I start to laugh, this is unreal. The trees are breathing. I put my ear to the ground, it has a pulse. It may just be my pulse. Maybe now they are intertwined. My hesd is spinning, explosions of artillery shells ignites my vision. I check my map...useless scribble. I lay back, and look into the canopy. It swirls and dances. I cannot contain my laughter now, i now have submitted to mother redwood. I think about her wisdom. Her experience. I feel protected, no longer an intruder. I have sadness wash over me. I know in my heart i respect nature, but do not do enough for her honestly. I ask her for forgiveness. Im just a stupid dipshit human. Ease washes over me. It will be okay she tells me. Do more for yourself i hear her say.
This is beautiful man...
It really touched me.
