The wind

Today is a good day, yesterday restored my faith once again in beings. I never lost faith, I am just continually reminded of how giving and loving people naturally are. As I write this in a little German bakery in Tehachapi, having my morning coffee I prepare myself for the next six days to Kennedy meadows, reflecting on the kindness I've been showed by this beautiful desert, looking Forward to my last little stroll in the wind and dust. We got in to Tehachapi yesterday, coming in was intense, 60-70 mile per hour winds, I feel I know a little closer how it feels to be a bird, surrounded by the dwarfing wind turbines, looking off the mountain at the desert floor we could see dust tornados spinning around. Pensive... I believe is the mood the desert has showed me, I enjoy my dwelling in this state, it has taught me much. I have had this idea or rather question lately I have asked a few friends, if you have a white box in front of you endless and vast is the inside and you can create the environment within this box before placing yourself within it, what would that look like? The answer has never seized to amuse me, I find everyone's answer to be an unveiling of what resonates with their being, it's beautiful to visualize and explore their environment. Try this exercise if you wish, I think you will find it useful. I met a guy named Daniel yesterday who was taking hikers around town and restocks the water cache in the mountains, he showed me a picture of a beautiful cabin in the mountains he built that was burnt in the wildfire, he called it his sanctuary, he told me that when he goes and stocks the cache up in that area he sits there and imagines himself home again, he seems to have found great peace in this. Whether he knew it or not, what he had said had showed my his white box, I learned a lot from Daniel in the thirty minutes we talked and I believe to be better from the conversation we shared. I don't know if I must share anymore today, I am still in reflection of the past and present. I am so thankful, I am thankful to be breathing, to be feeling, to have been spoken so directly to by people, to have seen the stars align. I bow to the mother and the father in gratitude for their continual giving.
