Brothers & Sisters,
Soon we will play our role in mother nature that has been replayed over and over again through out are existence. we will again become the predator that relies on his keen senses and instincts to survive. again we will run through out are favorite hunting grounds and become one with nature, one with the forest. some of us will form packs and hunt like the wolves and some will hunt alone like mountain lion. i can already feel the changes happing in myself. i feel edgy, high strung and feel the urge to run through the mountains and streams in search of new land and sign. my pulse quickens and i have the urge to grab my knife and longbow, hit the trail and feel the freedom that only the woods can offer. in this modern age of greed and waste the woods offer to me what i feel is the only honest, clean and understanding place left. i am a different person there, i feel links to the past of a simpler life, a more honest life, a kinship to hunter and hunted. i roam the woods in search of a past i'll never find yet there still remains the echoes. as fall draws near its like a rebirth for me and i feel whole again. thanks for letting me ramble.
