I woke up and could see grass and trees everywhere, so I ran down the path and walked among the wildflowers near the frog pond, and a bullfrog jumped across the path and into the water. After some green tea, black tea, guayusa and white tea, I had a conversation with the people who own this place, as they hadn't arrived until 5. I know them because they gave life to me. I told them I'd had an amazing evening walking around looking at the stars and the moon, standing silently in the forest watching fireflies with stars peeking through the leaves. They asked if I'd seen any animals, which is a rarity at night, unless it's on the trail camera, which they have posted on a path. A few years ago a bear knocked it over, because it makes a little sound when it senses a motion and takes a picture. They've mostly seen bobcats, deer and coyotes in recent years, but the story about the bear amazed me, mostly because I'd spent many an evening strolling the grounds in preparation for my adventures in the western territories known for ginormous bears, when I could have run into one in my back yard! So of course, I walked through the forest tonight, but after a fire and some more fireflies, moonlight among clouds, wind through the trees and the occasional sounds of fireworks from the neighbors' yard. I will travel somewhere else tomorrow. Mountains are calling to me, as are waters. Thank you, vacation.
