Getting out of the city-scapes and back into nature. Touching up my bushcraft survival skills; enjoying pipe smokes alongside nature. Ending with my personal Mahayana Buddhist practice in this old forest (we must respect the spirits of nature, and those that walk in the worlds between).

Li Bai - "Drinking Alone Under The Moon"
"I take a bottle of wine
and drink alone beside the vine.
Raising a cup to the moon;
that’s two of us, my shadow joins soon.
We companions are always three:
my shadow,
the moon,
and simply me.
I sing, the moon encourages me.
l dance, my shadow follows me.
This loneliness I’ve always known,
when tonight our wine is done,
you’ll surely leave me one by one.
Until then we share this Autumn,
we companions:
shadow, moon and me."
