Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

In memorium

There is one less of us in the world now.

Glen Canyon. Still entombed. Momument to human folly.

(According to Vimeo stats I was the second view of this gem, which is a tragedy.)

Tomorrow I fly back east for a week, to visit my grandma and backpack on Isle Royale with my sister and parents. We have to do these things now, as we might die.

    I just visited Powell for the first time. The Lake is double edged. It allows anyone with money for gas to gasoline access to the most amazing terrain on earth. No fitness required at all.It was fun, but over crowded, and I came away sad. The unfit folks who never camp or go outside much that I traveled with came away in total awe.It was an interesting dichotomy.
