Yes, the outdoors are profound. Nothing like a windy rainstorm to check one's world-dominating ego. And these kids... drug addicts, ADD, cutters, GENIUSES all of them in their own way rejecting utterly the world as it exists and ending up alone in the woods to claim their souls from the abyss of negativity and self-destruction. I sometimes wonder as I teach them whether they, or I, are learning the most. I teach them some stuff, but they show me a world that is to be, a much more valuable item. I recommend to anyone who is caught up in their day-trading nightmare of four walls and an assumed comfortable bed, video screens on demand and the essential oils of bought and sold gourmet digestion, to take along hard look at the wind in the trees. It does my heart an amazing good as I strengthen my emotions and body on the trail with these amazing young minds as they tear away from the easy access of cellular distractions, easy meal transactions at drive-throughs, video game fantasies, and the cool brief comfort of designer drug escapes. I recommend such tuning out to all as the world slowly degrades as it upgrades.
