So apparent about the east coast is the struggle between the natural world and humans. Nature seems to be trying to regain a foothold in the cities here, but it is not winning. It is not much different out west. I guess it's just the fact that there is much more space - more distance between cities in the west, and that seems to soften the damage done.
I look forward to spending time with my girl in the west. I look forward to spending time in the wildest places in New England. Mt Greylock. Mt Monadnock. Mt Washington. Mt Marcy. With her, and these places, I can recharge and renew my view of what is important, and what I can let slide, and just be in a place where nature rules and we are mere visitors.
