Are we really so big in the world? My inflated human ego has felt most humbled at the top of Longs Peak, looking across the chasm at Mosi-0s-Tunya, “Smoke that Thunders,” every time the Pleiades shoots at me, and most recently when I planted my booted foot next to the print of a bear at the Naknek Lake shore. And when the ursine owner sauntered my way up the beach, the Bear School 101 mantra was my heartbeat.
Do not run, do notthough my feet are a foot more
I lumber, not run.
So you made it! Just great! However. If you just lay down the bear will sit on your thighs and gaze deeply into your eyes. Forever you will be mesmerized. Kathy
ReplyDeleteA booted foot by a barefoot bear foot. (Glad it’s a footPRINT instead of an actual foot!) Enjoy (and best wishes lumbering)!
ReplyDeleteNice twist on words there Lisa!
