"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. " ~Gary Snyder

I am mostly estranged from home. Perhaps some day I will be able to return...and not just for a visit....

    Dharma bum,
    I know it's true.

    We're all wandering around, looking for the same place. There must be something wrong with that strategy.

    Barry,
    Wise man that you seen to be (I say that in all seriousness), I would be interested in your thoughts, if any, on what you think a better strategy might be.

    Thanks to both of you "dharma dudes" for reading. :)

    Well, I'm only partly serious, part of the time.

    But a better strategy might be: stop wandering. Stay right where we are. Look for the wilderness in that very spot.

    (Easier said than done, much easier...)

    You see Barry, I was right, you are a wise man, or perhaps it would be better to say you carry some wisdom with you.

    You subsequent comments hit the nail on the head and gave me much to ponder. Thank you.
