Tracking3rdSeptember
What is tracking? An ancient science? A way of seeing the world?
In the face of those who claim its an art to covet or master, I say that Tracking is one way to realize our unique potential as humans. In tracking you take intimate account of your place in the world, finely tuning your senses to absorb more and more details of your environment. You don't really "deduce" what's happening, instead you let epic stories weave themselves. You become "available" to the answer. A choice akin Alice stepping through the looking glass. It requires patience, the big picture, a willingness to take risks and trust in simplicity and moderation.
When I follow a bear, I fall in the Bear's footsteps. I can't explain it, nor can I do it any differently. If you think about it that way, where in your life do you find yourself Tracking?
Come "track" with us full time...
