Journey In The Mist

Greetings.  Welcome to a wondrous universe blog.  

Today it rained and was cloudy most of the day.  I enjoy days like this.  The sunshine has been marvelous as of late but the rain and the cool inspired me to go for a bike ride.  On my bike ride I saw a couple people that I know.  One I talked to, the other I just saw.  I had to process some emotions and got through them (mostly) and ended up having a pretty good conversation with the one I spoke with.  I was at a farmer's market and saw her and thought, "Hey, I know her, I know that face."  I asked and she reminded me we worked together once for a couple months.  It was nice seeing her.  While there, I bought some fresh vegetables, squash, and also got garlic, cantaloupe and peaches.  I have been eating quite a bit of fruit lately as well as mung bean or lentil soup.  It is part of an ayurvedic diet that I am trying.  So far, so good.  I still do eat some processed things, like a veggie chicken pattie, and some wheat, like one piece of sourdough bread with the pattie, but mostly I am sticking to the soup and fruit and cereal- gluten free- with a plant-based milk.  I do eat chocolate and sometimes have sweets like Sweedish Fish.  I am drinking tea too, like mint or green.  

I just want to say that wherever you are and whatever is going on in your life that you are loved.  Remember to feel that.  Remember to remember that.  Even in your most desperate hour, you are loved.  

Thank you for reading and I hope your next moments are joyous and love-centered.

The Forest Hums

I'm sitting in a North Carolina' McDonald's, close to Little Switzerland.  I've never been to Little Switzerland but it sounds interesting.   I was up on Roan Mountain last night.  I had a fire which helped to cook my mac and cheese and keep me warm.  It was a beast of a fire in that I got warm just keeping it going.  But once it was well underway it turned into a nice, slow-burning bed of coals. Yes, it was a cold night.  Fortunately I had my goose-down leaking bag from my 2003 AT thru-hike.  I do not think it is as warm as it used to be but with a double upper layer on and a single lower layer I stayed pretty warm.  My pillow which was a bag filled with rain pants and a quick drying towel was inadequate; so was my sleeping pad- a eighth of an inch pad that is only meant to go under a blow-up pad to keep from popping (My blow up popped a long time ago.)  I tossed and turned but finally fell into a long sleep.  The morning sun coming through my tarp tent woke me up.  I

Hop One Foot

 Hello friends.  I think of all the great writers from the past encouraging me on.   I have this foot problem again.  A weak ankle; an ankle that is sore from driving which has finally succumbed to the ultimate slow down- broke, fractured.  Can't put weight on- we'll, it has only been two days and I can actually put a little weight on it. It happened when I was on a beam about 18 inches off the ground.  I was looking for my dogs and I kind-of tilted to one side, lost my balance, jumped and landed with my right foot twisting.  It hurt and I was down for the count.  It took about 1000 counts for me to actually get up and make my way to the car.   So my planned hiking trip turned into a camping trip which was really quite nice!   Fortunately, I can drive and still make money.  There is an interesting thing about making money and competitors.  Often my neighbor will kind-of brag about his day driving for Uber.  I drive for Lyft and he makes it seem like he's making more money t

Tree Snap

Today, the sky was one black patterned wall of Strom, a almost tornado.  Eighty-five mile per hour wind gusts.  Lots of rain too.  There was a huge snap during the strom.  More like a pop or boom.  During my walk I saw that the pop was a tree that had fallen over.  Pretty sure not lightening, just wind and water and time for the tree to go.   Tomorrow I will work helping to saw up and remove fallen trees.
