it's strange to be a person that is found when people need to disappear. recently my friend adam reflected on his brief time spent with me in the redwoods (looseluggage.com). i am not some hermit hiding somewhere, or a suddenly appearing genie, i am just an ordinary guy. there are few people who really get me, or get to me for that matter. so, when i get to be with one of them for a spell, it is magical. i find i am mesmerized by how extraordinary human beings are. the life adam chooses to live, exploring the world capturing the raw and intimacy of human behavior, allows him to live full. when he is tapped or needing an escape, he often finds the no cell service, low wifi, simple, backyard firelight, conversation with a friend in the redwoods to be the perfect remedy. i sit in a rare space with a handful of humans. they have decided or it is divine appointment that i am an ingredient to their "disappearing." they do not come to the forest to get lost, but rather to be found. we all want somebody to be looking for us. i guess that is what i value most, looking for others when everyone else seems to settle for what they see. finding adam wasn't difficult, he was right in front of me.
