Bark at the Moon

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."

~Henry David Thoreau's "Life in the Woods"~

Last Friday night me and some of my friends climbed through rocks and trees.

we were missing the sound of wind between hundreds of leafs, the small creatures of the night, walking about all around us... and the pure and perfect darkness.

We were so deep in the mountains that not even the moonlight could peek through the dense, ominous trees.

Once again I fell in love with the night.

the entire night was an exercise of love amongst the scary dark clothed.

we bonded deeply and strengthened our friendship and made new ones. 

 we had a small fire going and roasted some Portuguese delicacies: "Chouriço". 

I can honestly say I know many people worth knowing.

and to be able to say that shows me just what a lucky lady I am.

*My Dearest, Suspy & Me*

but... we wouldn't be metalheads if we did not act a bit, well, crazy.

after all, we descend from vikings.

So I leave you with some random mischievousness. 

much love <3
