bigfoot resistance

bigfoot is annoyed
by our observation
wants to avoid
our Indian reservation

uses his senses
and his grace
likes our fences
that keep us in place

knows his home
is in the trees
that he has to roam
the definition of free

so it is unseen
that he will stay
knows we don't mean
what we say

Since a lot of the poems seem to have an environmental theme I thought it would be interesting to Google what the Sierra Club’s official position on the existence of bigfoot is. The Sierra Club does not have an official position, policy, or belief in the existence of Bigfoot. The information that I read on Google also pointed out that the Sierra Club does not want anyone to think that they endorse the Sierra Sounds. This refers to famous bigfoot recordings made starting in 1971 in the Sierra Nevada mountains. A Flash of Beauty YouTube channel is working on a movie about this subject featuring Ron Morehead. They have released a trailer for it.

I am not sure that anyone is sure about anything about bigfoot. But if I had to guess I’m thinking that the big guy would prefer not to be “official.”

And if you don’t believe in bigfoot it is probably OK to be “official” about that : )

Enjoy your Tuesday.

NOTE: The blog has a menu with more video content. On a computer it will be at the top of the screen. On a tablet or mobile device it will be the 3 stacked slashes to the. right of the word ASTRA. Enjoy the blog.

there is more of life

to live than you know

ride & explore the lightning
float on the thunder
don't ignore enlightening
avoid that blunder

along the way decide
prepare to be awed
open up your inside
keep your mind broad

out there in the woods
go find your wings
it is not good
to think you know everything

be sharp as a knife
drink the moon's glow
there is more of life
to live than you know

patterns need to be broken
keep only what truly matters
all of this was spoken
in the Samurai Chatter

The Samurai Chatter line refers to the Sierra Sounds. These are recordings that were made in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the 1970’s. The Flash of Beauty You Tube Channel and film team has a new documentary coming out soon. It is called Voices in the Wilderness. It will focus on Ron Morehead and the other individuals that were up there experiencing and recording this phenomenon way back then. I will provide a link to the official trailer for the film below. And I will be informing you several times when the film is officially released.

This should be my last full day in the holler. I got the motorcycle insured and inspected yesterday. Hopefully by the time warm weather rolls around we will have the small fleet of motorcycles, the GoPro, and the drone ready to start a new series of videos in Scott County, Virginia where I grew up. Hopefully I will figure out how to edit it all and get it up on the blog and You Tube by that time.

I hope that this turns out to be great day for you!
