Rewilding: Fire Starter

It's hard to say when a journey really begins.

Was it when the truck got packed and left home?

Or when we crested the dry, grassy rise and saw Tsy'los, the mountain over-seer of our launch point destination, for the first time?

Maybe it was back in February of 2016, when I began to write for this grant that I never thought I even qualified for.

Or before that even... with a feeling, or a dream, of finally crawling out of my cocoon of half-living comfort.

Or was it always in the making?

The seeds planted lifetimes ago, or generations back...

Either way, I can feel that it's begun. Things are different now. Things have changed.
