What Inspired This Poem About Hiking Alone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when I spent a lot of weekends hiking by myself in the wilderness. This is a very dangerous activity and I don’t recommend it. I got lost a few times and spent many a cold, cold night shivering on top of a mountain with insufficient gear. What can I say? I thought I was John Muir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, these solitary outings generated a lot of interesting poems. There is something inherently poetic about facing nature by yourself. With nothing but you, an empty mountain trail, and your thoughts, you begin to see certain elements of your life with perfect clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular outing brought my relationship with my father into sharp focus for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
