And the sun will rise for each of us separately and barely any of us will be up to see it.

I love the moments we can get close and be present. It’s so unique to the trail. Being present. I’ve never had such an easy time living in the moment.

And I really mean that, as cliche as it sounds. But being out here has made me realize how distracted I normally am.

A few nights ago about 15 of us rolled up to a shelter and lit a fire. We gathered around it and played music and talked until it was dark. As the stars quietly came out and people slowly went to bed, Clicks stood by the dying fire and said, “Its moments like this.” 

Moments like this, when we all get together after a hard day and sit and chat and…that’s it. It’s simple, but it also means so much.

I found myself thinking about the future, about how one day, we’ll all have to be apart. But right now we’re together, and there’s something about living in the moment that makes it feel like it will last forever. 

There’s something so profound about this feeling that I don’t feel like I’m capable of having the words for it. Eloquence escapes me, and so, time to climb one of the last mountains until Kathadin: the Bigelows. Until the next town.

Fly on,
