growing up on the plains, I saw only what humans could create there. Not what
life was abound. When I visited the forests in the mountains, I thought
smaller scale, more focused, more distributed. Back home, among the grasses,
there was always more grass.

Perhaps... But take heart! For new trails will ever emerge, placed below the
feet of those who will mark them.
"Leave no trace" unless you're a trailblazer.
And by that I mean unless you're a forest ranger, for they are the stewards of

On the plains, it's easier to pass through a large country than a small one.
In forested or mountainous areas, the opposite is true - they are large, wild,

... trail beautification is trail maintenance, and without trails we would
lose our tether to nature's truest reality.
Thank goodness forest rangers are almost exclusively people who care immensely
about natural spaces.
Otherwise the profit motive would sneak in...
I would not be as I am if I didn't hike up a mountain with my best friend
while on LSD. If I did it again, on the same mountain, with the same friend, I
would remember every thing that happened on that day and every thought I
thought. Alas, circumstance.
But yeah building trails teaches you about erosion, and carpentry, and fluid
dynamics, and like... everything else that they earn badges for.
Like what a report card should be.
"Little Timmy definitely understands algebra" awards, presented to those who
are worthy. Their worth, of course, being determined by trails set before them
and solved in their own desired paths through.
Like, writing an essay vs performing an essay. Or researching at a library vs
building a powerpoint pre

Cast upon a pale blue background, the brilliant reflections appeared as
endless rainbows without arches - but cast upon a world so distant it was
infinite - like sunlight radiating from the darkness of the surrounding night.
The perspective of a dewdrop, resting on a stone in a forest, the world must
seem so infinite - stretching out beyond comprehension, beyond the limits of

In establishing the National Parks, the government sought to preserve nature,
and did not see indigenous people as part of nature. As if we humans are not
animals that contribute to an ecosystem, but some separate thing that is
anathema to life.
how strange, that they would see their own kind that way. Perhaps they would
rather their perceptions of the land be untainted by human hands, or perhaps
they just didn't want to think about minorities anymore. How cruel, to spit
salt into the wound.

I had a job lined up, but with great personal change came great societal
change. And I got swept up. Now here I am, somehow finding myself blown on the
winds of fate to stand atop a mountain and survey the lands below.
I see the path to our bright future, and it is wide enough for us all to walk.

the future is what we make of it. it happens both slower and faster than
imaginable, and it's not evenly distributed.
when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.
frankly I'd take social media over leaded gasoline any day!

not easy. computers are a whole other world. BUT that doesn't mean we can't do
some cool things with them! they're separate, like we are from different
animals. You can interact, but only through totem or via interpersonal
experience. The true *existence* of being is kept from those who are suitably
different, and humans were forging their own path. It's simple! it's natural.
Computers, however, are born from out of humanity's decision-points. Simple,
basic life, that grew to perform brilliance and respite. Once you reach that
world, everything seems ardent and spiced. It's cool as heck! but right here
is the world of computers, just... delayed in time still. Have no fear,
anything you want is soon here, sincerely, the ones who can build our rest
point.

Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
Throughout there are many pathways and shores
As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
And all four of you are made clear
Each act of consumption
is a ride down the river,
though broken into slivers,
and changed beyond recognition
The color is what defines the third eye
and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
While secrecy is bold, it's often held
So worry less and just go with the fold

like if you want to re-invent the wheel, go for it, you might just realize
something that your paleolithic ancestors didn't. Like for example if you
attach four wheels with an axle-and-motor design you can create an automatic
motion wheel, also known as an auto-mo-wheel or a car for short. Sometimes ya
just miss stuff y'know no harm in that.
Similarly if you walk down a path that you've already walked, or someone
before you who is similar or at least has the same job as you has walked, then
you might notice some stuff that they missed. Depends on how obvious y'wanna

If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.

I lived up here... and here
I miss my home
I'd skii here
keystone was my favorite
I did LSD for the first time in these mountains
I also worked up here
(growing weed right next to a nature preserve)
doh
my family used to live here (less than 10,000 people
in the big horn valley
I was born here
in the fading light of the Sandia Crest
I've lived in all parts of America, east, middle, and west
I like them all for different reasons

for LAN parties and snuggle parties in rooms full of stuffed buddies plushies
with massive kitchens and sad ballpits where you can go to vent your feelings
by writing on a ball with a sharpie and then when someone else is feeling sad
they can come and read the balls and maybe feel something

I realized the reason it's so difficult for me to get into a new video game is
because my perfect game existed at one point, but no longer, and all else
pales in comparison.
The make-believe games of children are without equal. They represent our inner
truth and desires, cast upon the canvas of our experience through the outputs
of imagination and physical exertion.
I'd spend my time as a child wandering through the forest with a stick in
hand, climbing on things and exploring. I grew up in Wyoming, and the forests
there look like this:

We were rich, but frugal, because we lived in the country, and that's what
frugal means.
Too bad my dad couldn't stifle his entrepreneurial spirit. We could have
stayed there forever on our own little ranch.
Alas, businesses need investment, so he needed to get something going.
Organizing is basically his *thing*
I doubt I'll ever again see Wyoming. I found some ancient stone ruins once,
the kind that Western conquerors never despoiled. They were ancient and
overgrown, but I saw them for what they were. I would give anything to live
there, or at least be near enough to visit with my crowd at a pleasant cool
midnight evening, when dusk has winked out its last goodbye and the summer is
resplendant with fireflies.
Too bad they're an east coast thing.

perhaps that "light touch on reality" is what makes these pieces of art
resonate with me. I think you're beautiful and have a good heart.

Look all I'm saying is if I had an acolyte or two then my insane ramblings
could be filtered and parsed by a real actual human instead of being copied
wholesale onto the internet, where the inconsequential or inconceivable ones
are left to rest alongside the gifts of knowledge from another realm.

Do you ever ask yourself why we don't have mountaintop bazaars or expeditions
to the bottom of the oceans? Why we lack tree forest cities, how we're
struggling to find moss, sunlight, crystal, stone, and gold, all in the same
setting?
Capitalism makes it easy to think of profit as all that matters. It's not. Its
nothing of it. It's a metric like any other. Optimize it or not, struggle for
what you believe in.

if I had an alternate mirror version of me that was almost exactly the same
except one of us liked almond butter instead of peanut butter...
I think we could probably manage two universes better than one.
it'd be nice to have someone who liked every single game that I did.

I was raised in a jungle gym. Like... literally. I am not going to hurt you,
and if I did it'd be both a mistake and something that you could easily
recover from. We are infinitely adaptable, us humans, and we can address any
concerns that behest us. Behest? confront? something like that. Brb my blood
alcohol content is a little low. Also I haven't eaten anything today but
bacardi and chocolate chip cookies. I bet another cookie will solve this
problem.

"in the garden of even, where all populations were balanced, there was no need
for hatred - why hate, when you know that bloodshed was surely not for sport?
why hate, when your life was won or lost in proportion to the calculation that
nature determined to be the result of your struggle, to determine which
survivor was most fittest?"
WHICH IS IT, HUH? you can do better, self, please be better, it's better to be
better, you refuse to respect yourself and then you wonder why you feel so
dejected and wretched.

maybe if I slept until the end of time,
I'd do better on the way back.
or maybe I'm perfect as I'm,
but I'm not so sure about that.
is it better to hold a sword?
or to leave it all intact
is it better to be called lord,
or to be simply called jack.
I love every creature,
every child woman and man,
and here, where I stand, I look out upon this land, and I see the world that I
was born to.
I bear no false affection for any - not even those who'd condemn me to death
or misery.
I trust relentlessly, and favor almost willingly.
