Bare feet...

Given our frequent encounters with quicksand yesterday, we decided we might fare better today if we hiked barefoot. We would definitely save a lot of time not having to rinse our shoes out every bend or so!

It was a wonderful feeling...the mud and sand between my toes...and it was also wonderful to feel so separated from the rest of the world. Despite running into another group, it still felt like we three were the only people on the planet for a while...

It was so nice to get away from society. To be away from obligations, bank accounts, schedules and watches...


By Eddie Vedder

It's a mystery to me,
We have a greed,
With which we have agreed.

You think you have to want
More than you need.
Until you have it all you won't be free.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.

When you want more than you have
You think you need.
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed.

I think I need to find a bigger place,
'Cause when you have more thank you think
You need more space.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.
Society,
Crazy and deep,
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.

There those thinking more or less, less is more.
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops.
Kinda like starting from the top.
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.
Society,
Crazy and deep,
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.

Society, have mercy on me.
I hope you're not angry
If I disagree.
Society,
Crazy and deep,
I hope you're not lonely
Without me.

I don't think society is lonely without me...and I am not lonely without all of it...
