Hi Craig,
Nice commentary on your experience. I have always said being out there is the goal.
Just getting yourself into the environment then letting it happen, looking around, smelling, listening, and seeing what is around in the present, it is the goal, for seeing opportunities.
Clear all thoughts, and take in what is around, then it will happen.
Don't know about the mind states, but do know how it feels, when I am there.
My play is with my camera, it is not a business, so I do not feel like I must achieve anything, just playing, like my camera is the kite!
You went out there on a thought stream but I......loved your thoughts. I love that wandering, discovering, spirit..and serindipity.
Nice job!

Hi Craig,
Great story about how you (re-) discovered play in the valley, and about the different states of mind. You may be interested in visiting http://www.presence.net. "Presence" is a very inspirational book about organizational change at large, but equally about learning to see things differently, and sharing that with others. There is one story in that book that - if you take away the rituals - is similar to your story about the coyote. Many thanks for the podcast. Best, Barend
