Wilderness
By Carl Sandburg
O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heartand I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-WhereFor I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

The wettest camp out evah
I had to abandon my tent for a large hollow tree that I shared with tiny NZ Robin.

You will have memories. These may not always be good memories.

Everything is enormous.
500 foot waterfalls look like trickles.
Took a boat tour in the torrential rain there.
Got back to my campsite and decided to hang out in a hollow tree.
Birdy hopped in and we had quite a visit together.
