Some prose to help you folks beat those pre-trail panics and late winter
blues..... to me, I can't forsee getting `down' on the trail, this current
moment is really hard on the spirit and the bones, working crazy hours for
someone else's game, pulling together the final details for the trail, plus
trying to keep up with the homestead - I'll take a walk in the wilderness
over this any day! Hope these inspire somebody out there...
~flying~
the sky crouches
trained animal waiting
wide distance is poised
in me the stillness is one
i wait ear of bird
upon immobile horizon blue breaks hears
i am leaving Dark River wind song
the night birds rush sung whistling through
the wind she dreams a language every feather
winter shall know you in loneness a melody to
travelling so vast a silence bird soul
when it seems the stars, too, tremble pray my ear grows
time shall come through like bird ear
we unite to hear the wind
we have noisy tongues tell me which way
spilling all the oceans i go
stories flying to the light
through mouths once silent
spirit-children drift ~divinity~
along passages of thought my feet wade through the
leading us to dark pockets wetness of dew-soaked grass
among the stars of life drenched in
holiness
mud up the knees, i come to
beat my drum in Your Name
alone
(Yah-Wah-Way-O-Wah!)
beneath the hands of the
Earth-Mother
the Sky-Father watches....
Paradise approaches like
mountains rising above ocean
morning mist in sacred layers
as Earth's womb lies crying
the scars of abortion
with you and i she bleeds
if we can heal eachother, we
can heal her

Being a weekend hiker I've also noticed a change in my foot size. I've found
this thread to be very informative - here I thought I was still growing at 41!
My shoe size has always been 7 but since hiking for only 3 years now I've
noticed my toes tend to touch the tips of my boots. I've changed boots and
have tried 7 1/2 but my heels lift out of them. I wish they made quarter size
shoes like 7.25! LOL
This list has some great info - thanks!
