my footprints

a glimpse

haha, a glimpse, i wish i could say, it was of that black cougar or that black wolf. No i still didn't see those.
As i live on south facing slope, it's not very often i get to see the mountains to the north, when i am in walking distance of my home. Is north a metaphor for dark, is dark a metaphor for negative? What are my fears? I am always attracted to the north, i am not scared in the dark.
You know all that positive thinking stuff, made me scared of thinking negative. I use it to go to when i have to let go of things. I do go there, because i know to be in touch with my fears, i will overcome them. Why this longing for things to be right, even when we know the sun cannot always shine. Life is this rhythm. We wake, we sleep. Our heartbeat.
I wish i was light, even this, writing this, it scares me. I feel i should.... i should be counting sheep (Christopher i love your light-hearted post)

Alexander

Alexander is back in Medicine Hat, where he lives,
and he is recovering. Thankfully so.
I just don't know what more to write... it's hard to be a long distance mom

and for all people who feel....

like this

cougar?

I am sitting here waiting
for a phonecall from Calgary. Alexander is in the hospital.
With a bad concussion




so before all that, i did walk up the hill at Stony Creek again.
The light was very flat, the prints already dusted over with snow.
Still i didn't take all the right measurements.
Any way the matches booklet is exactly two inches long, which seems to make the track 5 by 5 inches.
The print seems to have three lobes as Meandering Michael suggested.
The other photo. The animal tracks on the right, mine on the left, my boots are 5 inches wide and 10 inches long.
So it could have been a cougar.
A lynx track is similar, but all i can think, when it was a lynx, it was very big one.

Let me know what you think.

And can you pray for Alexander... thank you
