My friend Amy invited me on a last minute camping trip this weekend. We didn’t go far... just up a canyon...I threw a pack together in 10 minutes and and... and... that’s it... hiked with Amy and friends into a spot next to a mountain stream... gathered wood... made fire... carved a roasting stick... conversed around the fire about fire, astrology, spirituality, conversion and salsa while roasting marshmallows and string cheese...
Everyone else went to bed... I wanted to stay up with the fire awhile... I like fire... It only lasted a minute... I got scared... I walked away from the fire to water the flowers... when I got back to the fire I thought someone stole the ziplock bag that carried my contact solution...
An old wildreness therapy friend used to be into tacking... he said that part of his training with the tom brown tacking school involved sneaking up on campers and playing tricks on them without them knowing... when i couldn’t find my contact solution i thought someone took it to mess with me... paranoia? who knows...
So after only a few minutes of alone fire time i went to bed... i think i interrupted the couple that was with us... well... i think they are not a couple yet, but at least one of the two of them would like to be something... they may have been kissing... because i didnt leave them alone with the fire they went to bed... but then after the tracking school stole my contact solution i went to bed too... i may have interrupted the start of something beautiful... oops...
The Dream,
Woke in the morning from the coziest sleep... laughing... I dreamed that my friend was going to throw a benefit concert for Anasazi... which is true... but it was decided that the benefit concert would also be for dolly parton... because she has been such a good wife and mother.
