Well, if all goes well we should be about 1 month out from the return of the Morels.
I went into the woods yesterday to check it out hoping they were either early or that I had just found them a little late last year.
Not the case.
It is still too dry and it has been cold. Hell we even had snow this past Sunday so it's not mushroom friendly weather.
I did take my little girl with me though and she loved it! She also has a surprisingly good memory for specific areas that we stopped etc. I can only dream where that kind of awareness already for the woods will lead.
Anyway, going to Montana and Wyoming for the weekend.

Answer to "The meaning of life"
I truly believe that I have figured out the meaning of life. It's really so simple.
The meaning of life is simply to Live, to be alive. That's it! Our exsistence alone is the meaning of life. Everything else is just a benefit or a distraction.
The meaning of life can be summed up, easily observed and witnessed all throughout nature. The more simple forms of life (when compared to interactions such as human to human, not DNA) especially show us this is true, in my opinion.
Take a flower for example. What is the purpose of life of a flower? Is its only purpose to simply act as a servant to other life forms? I say no, but my explanation of this will sound insane to those of you who don't already understand what I'm saying here. If you don't understand I politely suggest you open your mind. I acquired it first through years of time in nature,especially through the mountains and hunting. And then formed a deeper understanding of my life and other life through exposure to Taoist philosophy.
I'm not claiming that this is the only way to find it, find it on your own terms.
Anyway, I do realize that you can argue yes to my question about the flower and its purpose. But do you really believe the meaning of life is only to support other life? There's nothing in it for us beyond that?
I also realize that we all play a part willingly or not in the existence of other life forms, even after we die. But, I assure you, the true meaning of life is simply to live and hopefully enjoy it while you are here.
Because it's "such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there".

Good song and question
It's come to our attention
Life now is bound to change
While we the peaceful majority
We sit back and anticipate
These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits
These people they attacked our freedom
Their weapons technology and hate
Lives were stolen without warning
Brothers and sisters now erased
These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits

How do you interpret this song? Maybe I should try and find it somewhere as to what he is saying here, before I ask and make a fool out of myself by writing my thoughts.
I mean it seems pretty obvious. Spet. 12, the day after, life has surely changed. I get that.
I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but, I hear this song as though he laying out the fears of both "sides". And by sides I don't necessarily mean us and the "terrorists", but more between all of us who are simply caught up in it all. Mostly the innocent who get caught up in the real bullshit, which to them, even if they have a clue why "we" are there would be a very scary situation.
Anyway, I'm curious if someone can tell me their thoughts or the exact meaning behind Xavier Rudd's lyrics in this song.
I love the melody of the guitar-like instrument and his singing and of course the dige. To say he is an amazing artist is definitely an understatment.

Badlands 2009
I finally found the cable for my camera. Now I can show you some pics from this years Badlands trip.
There are few places on this earth that are as spiritual to me as this area of the Badlands in ND.
Everytime I'm there the thought crosses my mind that it might be the last time and everytime I leave I can only think about the next time.
Absolutely beautiful.
