This post was written while hiking in the Sierra Mountains
Fishing (Or Ode to Sam McGee)
My friends all went fishing.
I stayed behind to be alone,
I sort of like that.
Fishing is a noble pursuit,
One that I am not much suited for.
I would rather read,
or better yet write.
Writing makes me happy.
So does fishing for many.
I suppose we all have our
own weakness to bear.
The sun is going down.
I’m going to go for a walk
and chase it for awhile.
Capture a bit of warmth
and take it into the evening with me.
It’s going to get cold again tonight.
Last night was the coldest I’ve been
In a long time.
I love backpacking,
I love being in the wilderness.
I don’t like being cold.
