I couldn&#8217;t find any corresponding &#8220;site of carnage&#8221; though, so I have no idea who was being shot at. To help ease the concerns of my readers, please know that I film every vehicle I encounter out there, including license plates, whether they&#8217;re occupied or parked\u2026 just in case there&#8217;s any real shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, after tracing the majority of my regular route, I encountered&#8211; in amongst the other foot traffic&#8211; the tracks of the Invisible Bear once again. He followed again directly within my footsteps from the previous week&#8211; this time on the Mesa. The distinct impression I got was that he was actively seeking me out. And I don&#8217;t mean this in any negative or threatening way at all. The feeling is rather one of brotherhood and comradery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-14-at-9.04.18-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-14-at-9.04.18-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-11-14 at 9.04.18 AM\" width=\"1120\" height=\"637\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-14-at-9.04.18-AM.png 1120w, https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-14-at-9.04.18-AM-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-14-at-9.04.18-AM-1024x582.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope that Brother Bear was able to enjoy as much to eat along the way as I did. Enough snow had melted to expose huge caches of bear berries, and my favourite juniper bushes had lifted their branches too, offering their cinnamon berries for a real taste treat. There&#8217;s still plenty of rose hips too, and I even managed to dig four onions from the partially frozen ground. Freezing appears to make the onions deliciously sharper in taste!<\/p>\n<p>I have long described myself as a bit of a &#8220;canary in the coal mine,&#8221; as I generally experience things ahead of others. This is true for &#8220;good&#8221; things as well as &#8220;bad&#8221; things. Well, right now, all is exceptionally good! My heart is blown wide open, having become both vulnerable and resilient. I&#8217;m in the best headspace of my life\u2026 and my body has certainly &#8220;come into prime form.&#8221; The only challenge has been to remain open to unfamiliar possibilities\u2026 and by &#8220;unfamiliar&#8221; I mean wonderful. The coming surprises should mostly be of a positive nature (nature is always positive), as long as we recognize opportunities as they arise amidst some rather chaotic events.<\/p>\n<p>Overall it seems that Brother Bear is hellbent on offering support and encouragement for the reclamation of our individual sovereignty. His message this day is clear and succinct: &#8220;You&#8217;re on the right track!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where&#8217;s Niels?
