"back into our respective cocoons of solitude.", I liked that line. Second of all the fact that you are a professor impresses me but really that is just to butter you up...for nothing. As well I enjoyed that picture...the one of the hillside with the azalea. Most of all I just find your spirit challenging, in a good way. Someday I hope to be seen in the way that I see you. I see you as vibrant and colorful. Confident. Looking for something by yourself, taking as much of yourself as you can with you. All this praise is coming from a selfish place. I work retail and I am trying to get out and I have spent the last five years writing philosophy by myself, in my room thinking that one of my books was going to make me famous! It is so embarrassing!<br /><br />Yet you are a breathe of fresh air. I appreciate your story. Thank you for the pictures. I used to hike the catskills and other places where I live. It was all quite incredible but my allergies seem to have intimidated me into not-hiking anymore. Perhaps I am just making excuses.James R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10497543273673739844noreply@blogger.com
