I have no doubt of that, but on first contact it is somewhat intimidating. I encountered true wilderness while in the Army, but there was so many helicopters, planes, and vehicles that it was rather safe and secure. I laugh to think that I ever thought that the forests we have in Kentucky were any sort of wilderness....I mean if you get lost just walk one direction for an hour and you will hit some sort of road. The Nevada desert is not so easy....you are hundreds of miles from anywhere. I feel that if I had the time to aquaint myself with it that I would come to love it as well, but at the first it is just awe inspiringly large and desolate. The silence and desolation are, however, quite peaceful. We stopped in the middle of it and ate lunch and I was really at peace. The thought of having an emergency out there is a bit overwhelming, though. I must say that I never should have come out here...I am starting to not want to go back after seeing the American west in it's glory.

:wink:  As my old dead alcoholic, drug addict friend used to say. "The west is the best. Get here and we'll do the rest"

Today we check out the local digs and tomorrow the Redwoods and Pacific Ocean. :mushroom2: :bowdown:

what's considered high desert? i know you used to live in seattle. on a few occasions i drove from seattle on 90E through the Cascades over to like Vantage, WA. there was some beautiful desert-like terrain, a big gorge around the Columbia river. some really wild sculptures of ponies sitting off on a hill. ever been there?

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Well I have been in Iceland for three days and I am impressed. Icelander has kept me busy running over hills and forests, and roaming ocean shores until I am run ragged. Tomorrow we go to the top of his mountain to find wisdom. After thorough consideration I determined that the Iceman and Veritas are indeed genuine. They do not misrepresent themselves in any way here...they are the real deal....and then some. My respect goes out to them.

Hue and his and his family left this morning. I must admit I wished they had had a month here. I knew inside myself that it was going to be good. I have been convinced by the consistant quality of Hue's posting that we had chosen a similar path and that connection would have a fruition when we met. I really had no doubts. I feel like Hue's family is my family and the connection is a path with heart. I don't often feel this way but  in this case it is my true feeling. Our last day together left no doubt. We had a powerful voyage up on the mountain and for awhile we were awake and dreaming together.

Have a fine return trip Hue and wife and daughter. I hope sometime soon enough  I can meet the rest of your family. Veritas sends unconditional love with you as do I. Well met brother. :heart: :mushroom2:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

Theres danger on the edge of town
Ride the kings highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...hes old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and well do the rest

The blue bus is callin us
The blue bus is callin us
Driver, where you taken us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...i want to...fuck you

Cmon baby, take a chance with us
Cmon baby, take a chance with us
Cmon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin a blue rock
Cmon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But youll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Interesting story, I read that Jim Morrison was on a lot of acid when they recorded that song, and he was ranting "fuck the mother, kill the father" all day.... :lol:

:earth: :sun: :headbang: :satansmoking:
Peace. :mushroom2:


--------------------
:redpanda:
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

It's called "getting into character".  :evil:

Pop stars nowadays are rather boring.  Can you imagine Britney Spears or J Lo dropping a bunch of 'cid and screaming "Kill the Father, Fuck the Mother" all day?

I want to relate an experience with deep implications for me. I spent some time with Icelander and Veritas in the flesh this week as many here know. They were quite generous hosts and for the first three days and they tirelessly guided my wife, daughter, and self around forests, oceans, and mountains to see the wonders that their home state offers as well as welcoming us into their home. In their presence I became almost jealous. I have been on my spiritual path for several years, but I found them in advance of myself in several ways. They were open, honest, and dynamic in their behavior. Both used their speech immpeccably. As a male I was instantly impressed with Icelander. He is over a decade in advance of myself in age yet I feel old in his presence. He was so consistantly, active, young, and alive seeming that I was astonished. He has the most outlandish sense of humor and frequently mixes wisdom into his jokes. I am quite backward and closed minded by comparison.

On Friday Icelander took me up onto a mountain that he said had been vision quest grounds for Native American warriors in ancient times. We sat at a some altitude under the shade of some small oaks. We journeyed. I have been jaded by decades of journeying, so he wisely took me out of my comfort zone with a medicine that I had never experienced. Then he proceeded to speak his mind. He told me he had dreamed me there...I can believe it because making a 2500 mile journey by car is something I have never before dared to do. He said that he had picked that spot for me long before my plans to visit had been proposed...I do not know if he was joking or not but I had no trouble accepting it. For it to be a lie, after observing this man's behavior, is not likely. I do not know that he is aware of it but he spoke of several deep seated issues with me that I have that he had no way of knowing, and he spoke with authority on these issues. I was overwhelmed. I was so overwhelmed that at conversation over dinner that evening I could make but poor conversation and I frequently retreated into my self importance. I am afraid that Friday evening that I was too stunned to be good company.

On Saturday I was on the way home and a great uneasiness came over me. The experience of the following day washed over me and integration began. I realized how cold and stiff I am in my everyday life. I could feel all of the walls that I have built around myself that I was never aware of before. Many self imposed limitations were made plain. I am cold, I am self destructive, I am inflexible, and I am closed in many needless ways. I feel that a seed of change has been planted in many areas of my life...almost as if I had no choice. In a way I do not. Once one finds a better way based on new information that is clear and accurate then change is inevitable. I have had a similar experience of inevitable change before based upon a spiritual experience, but that has been several years past. This experience left me awakened all over again.

It was a long way there, and it is a long way back as I now cross the vast and lonely desert, and I have much to think about and much to do, but it was worthwhile for it seems I have gained a brother and hopefully a sister if Veritas will have it.

Ice and Veritas...thanks...it was more than fun...it was transcendental.
