Perfect world
In a perfect world I would have a hiking buddy, I sometimes fear the risks I take, solo hikes where you feel the depth a youth. I struggle with this in 2 days I am 48 and in almost every way I feel like a youth. I struggle with ego which maybe means i really dont, but I could probably physically outdo most teens. I see a challenge as such and make it work. With what you have. Failure = growth if you allow it.
In a perfect world I am not alone, not following bear tracks because its easier. Listen to a eddie vedder song and know i always blast music in nature, i never want to scare anything, wreaks my photos for wildlife except a pack of coyotes. Accept that the shadow trait of good is bad.
