Just past Kapalaoa cabin we noticed a section of trail weaving across the crater floor, traveling around cinder cones and through tufts of grass and silver-swords. Here the single-track gives way to double- , as the crater floor widens into a flat, occasionally reuniting for a spell. It seems like a metaphor. Other animals create a single track. It’s more efficient. Why cut a trail twice to the same place? Humans create double-tracks. We walk side-by-side whenever possible. We walk. We talk. We watch. We learn. This should be our marriage: walking side-by-side through a crater as the world is being molded and formed and expanded around us; being awestruck by the enormity of the universe radiating above us; seeking to find what is over the next rise, around the next ridge, across the next chasm; finding a meadow to rest in before our next adventure; and feeling the warmth of that human standing beside us every step of the way.
What’s the plan?
