I've taught myself how to do off-road tracking in the forest.
So occasionally, if the weather and health permit it, I will go to the forest and intentionally go off trail, going a little further every time, and tracking my way back.
When you get deeper into it, you can find marvelous wonders of nature basically "right in your backyard" off the trail and roads. Sometimes, I run into a series of trees and stumps and vines that are so naturally grown and yet spaced so spontaneously with leaves all around that it feels nearly otherworldly and for a moment, I forget about how ****** life is.
It's a very cerebral experience.
However, also very dangerous, so I proceed with caution as always.
The trails are safe, but when you go off of them, you're venturing into untamed lands.
Where there's wildlife, and where the laws of nature assert themselves above the laws of man's falsified reality....err, sorry. I get carried away in reminiscence sometimes. I haven't been there in a year and a half.
I should go again sometime soon though.
