I love the air at altitude! The freshness and the crispness. Automatically it seems to relieve the mind of thoughts and concerns and the silence becomes deafening. As the rumble inside the mind diminishes and the lungs fill with pure air the body starts to destress and the metabolism drops. How quickly this happens. How good it feels. How replenishing it is.

I recently bought some land in the high desert 90 minutes north of LA and every time I get out of the car there to do some work the deafening silence and 4000 foot air stop me. All I want to do is be. And light a fire. And listen to the coyotes.

And that's what I do.
