there was a day in nc this spring, dont remebr the shelter but it began to pour around 3pm or so,got to the shelter cold and wet around 5, saw there were already 5 other guys pretty entrenched. i hoped the rain would let up so i could just tent as the shelter was small for 6,but it continued to pour as i made dinner. decided to just settle in, and another hiker came up saw the full shelter told us he had 4 more behind him, we'll have to make room. we all looked at ech other, someone said they didnt think that was gonna happen, but we'd see.turned out we didnt have to make a decision. the rain stopped pretty abruptly as the other 4 made it to the shelter, i said its all yours boys, and got my tent set up, as a few others did the same.cool the way it just worked out. that would have been some tight fit
[QUOTE=hikerboy57;1514004]im all thought out. havent even had a random thought today.
need to hike[/QUOTE]
Yes, you do... you can think about a lot of random things when you hike....
I think the thinking has been thought about extensively, to the point that the thought of thinking of a thought makes me think of nothing. A good place I think. Unfortunately for some, instead of dwelling in the empty space of thoughtlessness new thoughtless thoughts seem to spring to the forefront once more which are again thought about. Many think that thoughtless thoughts are real thoughts and need to be freed before they think themselves back to thoughtlessness. While the thought of thoughtless thoughts remaining in the empty space of thoughtlessness is a comforting thought to me, the terror of thinking their thoughts will pass into oblivion makes many think that those thoughts must be shared, thinking that in sharing them their great thoughts and thinkings will be freed. Leaving any real thoughts to be trampled and leaving those equipped with thinking thinkers with concussions from the onslaught of non-thought. This state is known as being confussed. Lot of confussion today, glad I was at work.
And if we are discussing thoughts I thought things were quite disgusting today. Although perhaps Fiona Apple says it best, "I ran out of white dove feathers; to soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth, every time you address me."
Thinking of posting that in the 60 day thread...
