lake of the fallen moon

need to return to this spot soon. very soon. and then head on up to a lake named marion. some things are easy to master. other things are not. mastering the ability to print comes with time and patience. it arrives when it becomes second nature to yourself. mastering yourself seems to arrive when you no longer have the need to prove yourself to yourself or to others. easy to say - most difficult to achieve. i'm still caught in a crossfire between wanting and wanting to not want. just why did i put up a few pictures on photo dot net anyways? to show myself? to prove something? to affirm some sort of need to be seen and recognized? probably yes to all three of these questions. maybe i'm forever a fool.

No fool for sharing such beautiful images. Where I live is so far removed from the natural beauty that you picture, it makes me feel insignificant. Thanks for sharing.

i will be back at this lake by thursday or friday. i hope that she whispers sweet nothings into my ears. from there, i will lose myself for another 3 weeks carrying my home on my back while walking in my living room.

 

i get to cheat the first day - by hiring a pack train to take me and my gear up to what they call "the lip" - 5000 feet above kings canyon in 8 miles. i think if i did that myself, it would take me 2 days and 2 hours of muscle cramps to revive from that hot north wall of the canyon.
