skip to my lou: rambles on the AT

this is what it means to be an adventurer in our day: to give up creature comforts of the mind, to realize possibilities of imagination. because everything around us says no you cannot do this, you cannot live without that, nothing is useful unless it's in service to money, to gain, to stability. the adventurer gives in to tides of chaos, trusts the world to support her--and in doing so turns her back on the fear and obedience she has been taught. she rejects the indoctrination of impossibility.

HELLOOOOO

did you all think i quit the trail? does anyone even read this anymore?

well, either way, i have not quit. in fact, i have walked all the way to vermont and will be in new hampshire in less than a week. vermont, new hampshire and maine are the last three states....have done 1,600 miles and have only 530 to go. wow.

as far as trail life goes...it has been a mix of wonder, frustration, amazement and boredom all at once ,like usual. felt revived by a night in a firetower....slept 50 feet above the earth on the highest peak in southern vermont...arose to a 360 degree panorama of vermont sunrise. have finally met up with people again after a long time hiking solo...a bunch of us are in this town and we are all excited to get to maine.

as far as after the hike goes (it will be over before i know it), i would love to know where everyone will be come mid-october and i would love to see a bunch of you beautiful folk if that's possible. let me know.

okay, gotta share this computer.
just wanted to let you know i'm still walking.
i love you
