[From a letter I wrote to friends and family. Early Summer of '13]
It is my 12th day on the road through the mountains of NC. Yesterday I arrived in Asheville, NC from the edge of the Pisgah Forest a top the Blue Ridge Mountains. I was staying a couple days up there in a bamboo hut in the forest feeling like Sean Connery in Medicine Man. Especially feeling this way after my four day ethnobotany intensive training at a camp in Barndardsville, NC, where I learned medicine plants and edible plants and how to interact with them for better growth.
I have some adventures to share with you all in a blog to follow. One of which was nearly trapped in the mountains from a raging river.
As for now I share a reflection of mine. It is based upon a story I wrote years ago that has came back around on my journey.
"We can trek across the desert for a thousand miles or even climb the highest mountain, but the real journey is but a mere foot, from the head to the heart." - William Kinard
Hope All is Well,
Blessings,
William
