Halloween dreamin'

 We got into Escalante town yesterday afternoon and had espresso plus I was excited by the beauty of where we camped, about 10 miles from town, on Spencer Flat Road. Plus, my brother is coming out today and so I didn't sleep well.

 I dreamed a frightening dream but circled round before morning to bring the dream into conscious resolution. What had terrified me early in the dream was a force of nature with no evil intent. Just how nature is- raw and true to the elemental.

 In the morning we went for a loop on the sliprock, trying to avoid the living soils and wondering at the changes of light and mood from the angle of the sun. Awake. Alive. Grateful.
