A great truth is like a mountain one must Walk Around for many years
I often come back to the word Wildness.
That which is specifically constrained, yet also free of constraint. That which is bound to certain laws governed by climate, gravity, and terrain. That which looks effortless, yet has been shaped by great effort.
The process of Wildness is my personal mountain to Walk Around for the rest of my life. I have found wisdom there, and hope to share it with you.
