It's my fourth night in the tipi. It's very quiet on the lale tonite, which makes is scarier. I've often slept in nature, in a hammock or even right on the ground. But being by myself hads a bit of nervousness. I like gophering from here. Right on my phone. I also brought a small battery pack. It can charge my phone a couple of time. I recorded a live meditation this morning with my new flute. I can't edit audio from my phone so I won't post it to gopher tonite, but should be up here soon! I got the smpltreck today. I got it as a replacement for my model:cycle. First impression? It's fun enough. It really sound like an animal is eating bones outside the tipi. Shivers up my spines... Could be a bear... It freaks me out a bit, or could also be the water on the rocks? I don't hear footstep. I'm glad I brought a small sword, katana style. The sound is too rhytmical, it's the water splashing in a certain way? My body is still in high alert, but my mind calms down a bit. I turn on my flashlight on my phone. Glad I got the battery down. I remember sleeping in my hammock at my dad's place in the middle of the wood. I decided to put my hammock on top of a big rock thinking it would be safer. I kept hearing foot step all night long, but too light, or subtle to be humans. I finally conviced muself that it was nothing dangerous. Same thing hapoened each night. When I left my dad checked on my camping spot and realized I was sleeping right in the middle of where all the bears were spending the night. To night it feels the same. I am not sure if I feel safer in a tipi or a hammock. Closing the door of the tipi makes me feel safer. I had a very strong massage today. So much so that I couldn't go to karate afterward. It's almost too intense of a treatment, but my body really benefit from it. The noise and the wave outside has calmed down a bit. As I write this it just started again... The sound of the waves of the lake can create all the sound that ever existed. If you listen long enough you can hear voices, chanting or calling your name. A quick glance to make sure I can reach my sword. My eyes fixed toward the door. Comming back to the smpltreck - good enough, it can replace without a loss the model:sample, and : - It's battery powered - Has 1/4 jack - Has full size midi jack - Takes a sd card - Can like record, live loop On paper it's pretty sweet. We'll see how it goes. Allright got to sleep, I have a lot of work to catch up, making me anxious.
