The Daily Forest Report May 5, 2014 The Misty Mountain Monsters
by nielskunze on May 5, 2014
Today’s energy may prove to be a challenge, undermining our self-worth, making us feel isolated. We’re still busy integrating all of the recent reconfigurations. Nature and music are the preferred antidotes.
As I was gazing upon this Misty Mountain, I was immediately thinking Led Zeppelin. When I got home though, I listened again to Misty Mountain Hop, and I’m sorry Zep, it’s just plain boring… and you’ve heard it before. So, this is what I came up with instead…
(Song to Comus by progressive folk band Comus from their 1970 debut album First Utterance)
As you already know, Sitka– the forensic archeologist– comes up with the strangest artifacts… from deep within the swirling mists…
At first, I was thinking perhaps a young Klingon…
But no! This is clearly part of the remains of the supposedly mythical virgin-defiling creature called Comus! His lair is situated among the mists in these mountains…
Actually, it was a three-eagle day… but I know you’re getting bored with all of these pesky eagles inserting their ennobling energy all over the place! First we had the youngster– looking quite disheveled in the rain– practicing his hunting skills near the power line. Next, we glimpsed mama eagle flying up the river valley… which makes it impossible to snap a reasonable picture when she’s backgrounded by trees. And then shortly after that, the regal daddy eagle was spotted in the sky above the Mesa by Sitka. I often catch her watching things in the sky. (Sometimes the UFOs are invisible to my human eyes.) Big daddy eagle provided a great photo op, but it turns out that when you start the film rolling on the GoPro when it’s pointed directly at the bright sky, you run the serious risk of filming nothing more than the “magenta screen of death.” There were no eagles to be found in the botched footage. Oops!
The eagles make me feel good. Even the mist and the new snow line in the mountains make me grateful. I hope your vicarious journeying along serves to uplift you too… and I bet you never heard that song before!
