Colisión con la Tierra

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”

I need Earth

I've identified one of the reasons I've felt a little down today (aside from lots of rain and a bout of homesickness and big-city culture shock): I NEED EARTH. I grew up in the Ozark Mountains, always within seconds of a giant oak tree, a natural water source, and soft, green grass to dig my toes into. Barcelona is all concrete and stone. The only trees are those that have a 4 square foot area carved out of the concrete for them to grow in. I'm really looking forward to finding a way back to nature while I'm here.

Out at Little Sac last December, definitely more my element.
