Hi Rebecca Thank you so much for saying so! >The sunrise reflecting off ice covered conifers should be enough of an >answer for you though. It is, yes. At the same time though, I think we as human beings have an innate desire to share experiences with others and so we search for words that allow us to do so. >It's the people sitting in front of their tv sets who forget that there are >even questions to be asked. Perhaps. Still, ignorance seems such a blessing at times. >Maybe it's time the mountains were about more than solitude... I love the mountains. The quiet. The danger that one slip could mean my life. It is a lot like riding. There's no time for daydreaming. Total attention is required. Death is right by my side, a constant guide. I've been going to the mountains for over a dozen years. I have never had a companion and oddly enough I've never wanted one until I read your words. That's why I go in the middle of January, after hunting season is closed. It is rare to see another human being in those mountains though I have from time to time. >Our time of gifts is fleeting. I sit on a bluff overlooking the forest and watch wolves chasing the deer down paths only they know. I see the signs of the Native Americans who hunt this land and I use their campsites with care lest I disturb anything and someone know I was there. I suspect it is similar to talking with God. Thank you again. Your kindness means much to me.
