Love is the seeking of a way of life
A way that cannot be sought alone...
Masked in
Gray and brown...
Tribal beats are sounding
Inside my head; echoing and pounding...
German Shepherd dogs ?
Next came the water hose...
In my mind I raced against time
I smoked peyote with the Apache...
“Years ago, when I first started mountaineering, I was impetuous, heady, rash, impatient, prideful and arrogant. I in my mind, was both impervious and impregnable, "nothing could stop me," or so I thought." |
“Soldiers train for war, but pray for peace.” |
“Mountains are for me, a conservatory. It's there, that I am able to exist in the presence of transcendent sentient and symbiotic beings." |
