Those were the best days and jobs.bholanathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13722069078428772316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555143780258227796.post-13036961055844179212010-12-01T16:45:07.374-08:002010-12-01T16:45:07.374-08:00Scrap,

Many of us understand what up with this way of being. <br />In the film "Sharkwater", the diver/director talks extensively about his calm, acute awareness that allows him to interact with the sharks as he does. <br />Welcome, I'm honored.bholanathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13722069078428772316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555143780258227796.post-15039817529572555182010-12-01T13:42:48.273-08:002010-12-01T13:42:48.273-08:00From Lloyd Kahn's blog:
Richard Vacha writes a...From Lloyd Kahn's blog:<br />Richard Vacha writes a column on tracking animals in our local paper, the West Marin Citizen. From his latest column on our native Grey Foxes:<br />"The fox is an expert at reading the forest or field for signs of unguarded baseline activity or for alarms. The fox seems particularly sensitive to out-of-context behavior typical of humans, particularly the unsettled mental state we often carry with us. Trackers commonly report that once they learn to truly quiet their minds and harmonize with spirit of nature, the fox begins to show itself…"<br />"The very term, fox-walking, implies a slow walk in a heightened state of awareness that moves beyond the immediate sensory input to a wider sense of what is going on in the whole landscape. This type of walking, coupled with wide-angle vision, (and) the dynamic use of peripheral vision, can quickly induce a calmness that animals in nature respond to. These are two of the primary tools of a tracker interested in establishing a deeper connection with nature. This is how the animals themselves become our teachers, as they have been since the dawn of man."<br /><br />Also more on this from Jack Tuner's book "The Abstract Wild"<br />and Joan Halifax's "The Fruitful Darkness"<br /><br />ScrapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
