Tracking & Awareness
"When we track, we pick up a string. At the far end of that
string a being is moving, existing, still connected to the track
that we gaze upon. The animal's movement is still contained in that
track, along with the smallest of external and internal details. As
we follow these tracks, we begin to become the very animal we
track. Our awareness expands from the animal we have become to the
landscape it reacted to and is played by. We feel the influence of
all things that surround us and our awareness expands from our
consciousness to the mind of the animal and finally to the very
cosmos. In tracking and awareness, then, there can never be a
seperation. One without the other is but half a story, and
incomplete picture, thus an incomplete understanding. It is the
track that connects us to that grand consciousness and expands us
to limitless horizons."
