I have an elk story. A place I lived for a bit near the California coast had a story of a mythical giant elk that lived there, but was rarely seen. One night a friend and I were driving on a really misty night when we saw something crossing the road and came to a stop. It was an elk bigger than a moose. It was gigantic. It stepped over a barbed wire fence easily with room to spare. Then it slowly disappeared into the mist. We were in such awe of what we had just seen we just sat parked on the road for awhile. I still to this day don't know for sure what I saw. Elk aren't supposed to get that big...

Wow. That was eloquent and dreamy and beautiful to read. Thank you. I've always dreamt of living in that way. My reality has been far,far different, but the time will come, I can feel it's close. Though where you are sounds pretty special, some places will take more to restore. You just gave me a lot to dream about. I am in southern Oregon, and for now at least, this is where I feel I am meant to stay. But what you are doing is so important, and you appear to be doing it with a very wide lens. Very inspiring. I wish you all the best and all my love. How beautiful. One question though, why resist the urge for philosophical debates? They can be so much fun.
