Contrast of the city's hopeless depression & ******** nonsense
overload of dead ends and fear
Serenity and perfection of nature
where a man can truly be free of conditioning
How proud & humbling to climb a mountain and earn it's view
Vision of glacier paths & Arapahoe eagle feathers for battle
Smell of ***** snaking through the *** **** seared meat and water
Pines and boulders uniquely arrange a path for me
Blisters & stones & cactus flowers
From skid row to luxury & back again
Peasants, princes & kings
worlds of people & things
1500 miles from home
They're building up the city
scouting new territory
Dreams of friendship and romance
as I die many peaceful deaths on the riverbank
cockroaches & needles
mountain rain drizzles on the pines
The wind howls might of god through the valley & sculpted peaks
Someone assures me of the presence of the Combine
An insect sees only what he needs to
A man sees whatever he wants
Something is here
The mountains play mysterious games
Tricks, illusions
One might feel trapped
100 years is not long
10 years is a lifetime
One can learn about nearly everything from looking at a river
I am filled with desire
Now I am completely empty
It is quite obviously unknowable
I am dissolved into it's substance
I am possessed with unconscious fears
I wake up unsure of my mind
The body is strong, god bless it
We are perfect beings
There are infinite realities
We make our own worlds & hells
All is safe in God's hands
Effort is required in the dance
