Thanks so much, Jay!

We love how you say that ‘one is never lost’. Even from a very practical viewpoint, we were just reading ‘Deep Survival’ by Laurence Gonzales, and he makes a very good argument for the state of ‘being lost’ to have nothing to do with geography, and everything to do with our state of mind. Of course, I think your words point to something even deeper — thanks for sharing =)

Ah, what a moment you shared. Like sending someone a breeze…or a ray of sunshine. Lost indeed. One is never lost and perhaps that’s why you wrote that marvel of words: Almost.

So wonderful, thank you.

Hi MObugs41,
‘Eerie’ is a good word for it. Often it seems, when out in nature, that there is a threshold that we sometimes nearly pass into, a borderland where we encounter our own ‘wildness’. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Jackie,

Indeed it does. Just another of the joys of nature =)

Hi barefootheart! Thanks so much. It is such a strange looking thing . . .

I too have felt that eerily “lost” feeling, even in familiar territory. Great post, and lovely picture.

How well you have described that moment of transportment! Sometimes the mystery of it all just overwhelms.
