vasudeva the ferryman (from herman hesse's "siddharta") spent his days helping people cross a river which to most, was simply an obstacle in their otherwise busy schedules. he comments that it is extremely rare, but every once in a great while, one of these people will stop to enjoy the river's ever flowing presence. a smaller number yet.... actually listen.
i didn't need to start another blog, but i found myself wanting to as i spend a good amount of time reflecting on my own moments in life when i stop to listen. these moments when the world fades around me as i dissipate into the "now" of what is around me are some of the most precious i have experienced.
having a dedicated place to unpack some of the thoughts, sights, sounds, and experiences i have when i head outdoors seemed like a meaningful endeavor. so to this end, i have begun my third blog.
...life is short. may time be treasured....
