Depravation
I do not want to be bothered by international/Malaysian issues for the next few posts. Screw that, instead
I want to climb a mountain and,
- Fall off while grabbing onto a root or branch
- Find leeches on my leg and curse them
- Go down the mountain while thinking that slipping will kill me
- Reaching the summit and enjoy the view
- Think how much time is left for me to reach the top
- Drink liters of water as I climb up
- Touch every leave and tree I pass by
- Avoid muddy patches which might have leech in it
- Rest and see my body heat evaporate and make me think I have an aura
- Look for a waterfall
- Dip in the river and have the waterfall "massage" my back
- Breathe the fresh air
- Drink the water from the river.
- Come back down after 8 hours of climbing and feel dead beat when I get back home
- Listen to the sounds of animals and river flowing
- Look at human tracks and trails, figuring out how long has it been there
- Decipher animal trails and wonder if they're nearby and think that getting chased by a wild boar is not a good idea
- Look at the small and humongous ants going in line on the trail, on the trees and on the plant while trying to avoid them
- Look at holes on the ground that belong to animals, thinking it might be a snake's nest or an armadillo or something else
- Watch my words and obey the golden rule of hiking
- Know that something is watching you everywhere you go
- See little butterflies flying, mating,and do what butterflies do
- Going through a trail full with shrubs while worrying about leeches that might be on the leaves getting on to my legs
- Sit and enjoy the flow of the river against me.
- Float with the river to the end and come back up, repeating the same thing over and over again
- Swim against the current and get tired doing it
- Play with the little fishes that swim in the river
- Clear the trash from the river
- Munch on something while seating on a big stone in the river
- Get my skin all wrinkly
- Dip into the river and let the whole of nature engulf me, sound, taste and all
- Get saltwater in my eye and mouth
- Going as far as I can from the beach without dying/drowning
- Float with the waves
- Swim to the bottom of the sea
- Find something weird in the sea
- Get stung by stupid jellyfishes that demands death in my hands
- Do a barrel roll in the water
- Get sunburned and turn dark from overexposure
- Just float with the waves
- Get the wobbly feeling of still being in the sea even though I'm on dry land
- Get on the beach and chase little crabs into their holes
- Paddle until my hands feel like coming off
- Kayak on a lake or island hop
- See big lizards swim past my kayak
- See big scary fishes swimming around my kayak
- Let the waves/current take me to wherever they might take me
- Paddle again
- Get to places I wouldn't dare to swim to
- Splash the water to my partner
- Paddle to a shade and rest under it
