The sun is out to get me.
I retire to the high ridge where a light breeze delivers some comfort and the thick canopy creates a dramatic contrast of light and dark.
It’s cool amongst the crown fern and the slow sipping of cowboy coffee is meditative
.
There are young Totora and Rimu here.
Embarrassment. I’ve been here many times before and not to notice.
Like a skinny teenager only growing in one direction but likely much older than I. A smile. A thought of encouragement to reach the light.
I recall past sentiments about losing good hunting grounds to scrub.
I must have matured as well.
