In my camper, <em>Cochise<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">   Three months of living on a mountainside, 9,000\u2019 above sea level, in the woods, just south of the Wyoming border, no neighbors within earshot and no cell phone service. It\u2019s been an eye-opener, that\u2019s for sure. <em>Fo Sho<\/em>. I think I might make it though&#8230;we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n   I\u2019ve\nlived in the woods of the Alaskan interior, through winter, no\nrunning water, using an outhouse, wood stove heat (it was a great\nstove, too \u2013 an Earth Stove) all long before cell phones. It was no\nproblem. One of the best times of my life, as I recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  I\u2019ve\nalso lived in the foothills outside of Loveland, Colorado, for a\ndozen years, living in a vintage 1959 16\u2019 camper that was just like\nthe one we had when I was growing up, until the \u201ccabin\u201d we bought\nwas habitable. It had been abandoned and open for a year after the\nState Troopers evicted a previous tenant for defaulting on his VA\nloan. He was a Vietnam vet, but the Troopers fired tear gas canisters\nthrough the windows to get him out. One of the tear gas canisters was\nstill lodged in the siding beside the window. Oddly, the exact same\nthing happened at our cabin in Alaska, including the tear gas\ncanister being lodged in the siding beside a window. I think we have\nto take better care of our vets, and maybe get our Troopers a little\nmore range time firing tear gas canisters. Just sayin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">   But&#8230;back to the mountain, eh? No State Troopers shooting tear gas canisters here. Let\u2019s keep it that way, shall we? I much prefer the quietude of tall trees sifting the wind through their canopy. Gray Jays squawking, looking for food. And that pine squirrel that keeps barking because it ventures too close to the hummingbird\u2019s nest and gets attacked. I\u2019ve witnessed it. Damn squirrels. They drive Rambeaux crazy. They always have. Me too, sometimes. They\u2019ll eat all the wild bird food and suet, you know. Damn squirrels. But enough of rodentia. Let the lemmings go to the sea, and let us be off to the forest, in the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  <em>Close your eyes now, and draw a few measured breaths. When you open them, you will have transcended your temporal bounds and we will stand together amongst the tall timber&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">   I am the steward of this patch of woodland, having paid tens of thousands of dollars for a piece of paper granting me legal title by a local governmental agency with proper, recognized jurisdiction from larger governmental agencies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Yes,\nI am a landowner in America; but I know I can\u2019t take it with me\nwhen I go. As Native People say, \u201cWe do not inherit the land from\nour ancestors. We borrow it from our children.\u201d So, I put my\nchildren\u2019s names on the legal title too; and I hope they do the\nsame \u2013 someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  But\nnow I must tend to my small slice of forest, for it\u2019s choking\nitself with too many trees. It\u2019s overgrown, densely thick, a\nstunted jungle of lodgepole and ponderosa pine that hasn\u2019t seen the\nthinning, rejuvenating force of fire since long before my arrival. I\nmust be Caesar of the Timberland and select who shall live, and who\nmust die. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  I\nmarch into the spiny thickets of adolescent growth, shoots of trunk\nand branch twice as tall as me, to find the Alpha Tree \u2013 the lone\npine who rises above the others, if only by a few inches. The tree\nwhose bark is darker and roots run deeper, having established\nthemselves in the granite below. I fall all others around it, giving\nit sufficient room to spread its branches and climb toward the sun,\nwhich now can reach the forest floor, fostering growths of fern and\nunderbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Ah,\nthe rarified, pine-infused mountain air!\nIt\u2019s\na tonic requiring no gin, and to pull it in is to drink Mother\nNature\u2019s finest essence \u2013 forever free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  I\nclose my eyes and breath deep, listening\nto\nscreaming silence. This is my garden, planted by the\nGreat Force\nand bestowed upon me for a few more changes of the seasons. This is\nmy reason to be for the rest of my years, and I will not shirk my\ntask. I\u2019ll resist the forbidden fruit and not be cast from this\nEden in the Sky. I pass back the apple \u2013 the\nforbidden fruit &#8211;\nand chase that\ndamn serpent back to Hell.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSummer is slipping by much too fast, what once was imagined is already past&#8230;\u201d -Journal entry: Wednesday; August 15, 2018; 10:23 am.
