7empest!
Thanks Man, that takes me back to some of my best psychedelic roots. Those two songs combined are a tour de force by these artists Tool.
I love both parts, but I think you were wise in your choice to use only the first for your beautiful Sierra images. What do you think of this-- that second song would be perfect for a video of wingsuit flyers leaping off mountains and flying wildly through the canyons. I really dug the songs, the video, and the lyrics, though I guess that, like you, I embrace the concepts of randomness and beautiful chaos, above any teleological* concepts of being. I mean the words they used like "choosing to be here in this body." On the other hand, I love the words: "...recognize this as a holy gift, and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing"
*Is that the word I'm after? Ya, that's it: Teleology [in theology] "The doctrine of design and purpose in the material world."
Thanks a lot for that 7empest. I enjoyed it 3 times through! Harlen.

I’m glad you enjoy the music! MJK writes amazing lyrics in all three of his unique bands. I’ll have to add “teleology” to my vocabulary, thanks! On a different note, I’m currently deciding whether to hike the KCHBR or YHR next July/August. Hoping the trip planning will keep me motivated during the “back to reality” slower pace of the off-season months. I’ll probably throw out another “partner wanted” post as I did for the SHR..But a solo trip will be fine by me. I struggle staying in-shape during the winter so hopefully this will motivate me to stay somewhat fit until next summer.
