| I'm leaving camp and have a choice: either backtrack a couple of miles on a trail up to the ridge line, or course over a mile-wide boulderfield. I choose my own path, over stones the size of basketballs to the size of duplexes. The impulses to my muscles from my brain are never the same; each step is a different distance, in a different direction, to a different level, and onto a differently oriented surface or point. Are you recovering from an ankle or knee injury? Come with me and re-establish those lost connections between the injured joint and your conciousness. Use every muscle and tendon that surround it in concert. Start out slow and be ready to fall. As you get stronger, take bolder steps and paths. Finally, bring your pack. If you can traverse a mile-wide boulderfield with 50 pounds on your back surely you must be recovered. Perhaps you are stronger and more balaced than you were before the injury... |
