A photo essay from last week’s 15-mile circumambulation of Mt. Tamalpais, retracing the footsteps of a historic route set in 1965 by beats Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, and Philip Whalen. Part of a larger book project in the works. Powerful experience.
Four Vows for Spiral Walkers:
Sentient beings are numberless;
I vow to save them.Consuming desires are endless;
I vow to stop them.Bio-relations are intricate;
I vow to honor them.Nature’s way is beautiful;
I vow to become it.– From “Opening the Mountain” by Matt Davis and Michael Farrell Scott
