Feel that sweat on your face –you like it huh? How about enjoying the real smell of your body and your hair instead of hiding it every time it pokes from under the patchouli body splash?
    There are some parts of you that will not come alive until you skip rocks along streams of crystal complexion and then dive deep into the brown liquid mirror to scoop out a trout you hooked. Thought you weren’t going to eat at all. Really! It feels great to experience a more primitive state of being. Let the belly growl because there are no after dinner mints on the pillow of your air mattress.
    For one brief moment let your mind run across what you heard the guy at the ranger station say –“We haven’t had any bears attack people out here for years."
    Clean yourself in the same water you’ll used to cook a rabbit you’ll trap in the bushes tomorrow, the same bushes you stand on hunches behind to, erm, heed nature’s call.
    You hear that? That’s a hoot owl. He’s watching. What the heck bare it all. He doesn’t have any pants on either. Fair is fair.
    Sleep as people did before the dawn of civilization. And if you don’t catch a rabbit tomorrow then just enjoy the beef jerky. Shucks! The cave man didn’t even have that. And he certainly didn’t have $450.00 mountain-flex climbing boots with Sorbothane heel insert.
    What he did share with you is the vista when you reached the top and looked down the craggy wall you had scaled. He shared the feeling of being a part of everything that is and ever was. That was the reason you came.
