There’s so much to love here Haley. Your depiction of Fall, hiking in nature and your eternally profound prose.
I had such a similar experience on my first backcountry trip. My parents didn’t get it, thought I was searching for something, searching for my soul as if I had misplaced it. My friends told me I’d get eaten by a bear. It felt like we were speaking different languages — I couldn’t explain what drew me to it.
Walking on those trails, immersed in the sheer rawness of Mother Earth, is not a process of addition (finding something) but reduction (uncovering what was already there). They’re some of my best days this year.
I've read this like five times now. I love how we are in similar wavelengths, but with slightly different interpretations and ways of saying things. I will never get tired of your prose.
Also, I'm so glad you went to a Sofar Sounds concert! And how cool that someone you knew ended up singing. It's incredible the amount of talent that is around us!
