5/6

Today I am in Idyllwild, Ca, a cozy little town nestled in the mountains, staying in a room with showers and a sink, a bed, a couch, three good friends, it's too much, I don't know what to do with myself. The mountains are thick with fog and rain, so it is a much welcomed change of pace. The past few days of my walk have been beautiful, the mountains are flourishing with wildflowers, the giant pines continually make me stop in my tracks to acknowledge their size, I tell them thank you for enduring so long so I may enjoy them. We've been in the San Jacinto wilderness, I did a 26 mile day yesterday into the mountains, I hardly noticed due to my amusement with the surroundings, a truly Devine place. The people I am surrounded with out here are beautiful, full of love, and a true love for these wild places, everyone's continually helping each other however they may. I am feeling a since of community here I have yet to experience, a true trail family. I am overcome with thankfulness everyday I wake, to be able to immerse myself in living this way, I am realized not everyone is in a place in life to be able to do so, I count it a blessing. I go to bed at night close to the mother, my feet covered in the dust, a blessed meal in my stomach, an open sky above me, full of constellations, I have all I need.
