November 6. Day 27.
Tomorrow is the last day of this walking piece. I still have not encountered my electrical friend again. I would like to one more time. Just to get his picture. I forgot to take his picture! Meanwhile, the thrill of walking one more time is unbelievable. When someone asks about this project, I try not to talk about it very long, I feel it takes energy away from the walking. My breathing is so loud in my ears (or is it my mind) all day long now, even off the trail. I’m worried it is distracting to others it seems so loud.

Good morning Tim, I have just finished reading your blog entries up to date. Interesting how the honeymoon with your “lady of the Mountain” ended and the real work of the relationship began. I look forward to the final thoughts after your affair has ended…or perhaps she will become a constant lover or at least a life long friend. My cancer recovery is quite a journey in itself and I have decided that starting the day after the New Moon (this coming Saturday) I will stop drinking untill the full moon on the 24th. Thanks for the inspiration! Love to you…Bill

You are right about the transformation in this project from romance to reality. It is interesting how many have perceived it as either less or more romantic based on their expectations of it. You seem to sense the core of my intention. It is less a piece about heroism or conquering than it might appear to be. Thanks for your words and I’m glad to have helped inspire your healing. Good luck!

Tim, we’re waiting on tenterhooks for your concluding episode. Your writing has been an exhausting, yet inspiring, adventure. Dad

Congratulations Tim, if that is that right thing to say. I most admire having a plan and seeing it through. Daily life can keep us so scattered that sometimes I can’t even get to the gym consistently. We seldom take the time to get into our own heads. I have found that meditation is very hard for me as I sit there making a grocery list or thinking about work or the what ifs. Thank you for your experience and the food for thought. How is that hip by the way?
