Even On A Gray Day The Pine Bush Is Nice
Winter-Long Shadow
Bash Bish Falls and the entire valley are in constant shadow of Bash Bish Mountain during the winter, as the sun never reaches an level north enough throughout the day.

It’s true that no two people are alike, at a superficial level, that is. Our stories and experiences will always be unique. However, what firmly connects us is that we carry the same collection of core fears. These seven fears lie at the root of our pain stories and are essentially false beliefs—or illusions—about ourselves, others, and the world:
Fear of unpredictability: “If I get more information then I will be safe.”
Fear of rejection: “If others accept me then I will belong.”
Fear of being unworthy: “If I prove myself to others, I am enough.”
Fear of being insignificant: “If others can see and hear me then I exist.”
Fear of failure: “If I follow the right path and avoid mistakes then I am better.”
Fear of trusting others: “If I control others then I will survive.”
Fear of being incapable: “If I have more resources then I will succeed.”
Listening to Cat Stevens’ The Wind and pondering the lyrics on this bleak winter day
Listening to Cat Stevens’ The Wind and pondering the lyrics on this bleak winter day …
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I’ll end up, well, I think only God really knows
I’ve sat upon the setting sun
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, neverI listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil’s lake
But never, never, never, never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never
I have this record from back when I was in college and could connect to other shared music archives over the college network. I used to listen to it a lot while I was sitting down by the Saranac River. At least it’s not very cold out but hardly a day to spend outdoors longer then necessary.
