Walking In The Dark...

I love to walk in the dark in the desert or woods.

Yes, I sometimes trip or stumble, but I still like to explore with my ears and senses...and wild imagination. Sometimes I tell myself that always living in our illuminated world makes us weak and disconnected from our natural selves.

Maybe it's a metaphor for my thoughts about life (we're all walking in the dark, really). Maybe it just makes me feel daring, like a kid.

But...walking in the dark during snake season just makes me feel wiggy.
