I particularly liked this post as I’ve been wondering about the whole safety and depth issue and your take on it is useful. I agree that it’s all about expectation; personally I get the most from journeys where the unexpected happens, however rough the experience :)

Nature is dangerous to us humans, and part of my journey has been to get back in touch with how things really are. Call me crazy but I really want to shatter some illusions, about this physical world and any others that might exist.

As far as the spirits go, I frankly don’t even want to bother if they’re all nice and sweet. I’ve always considered that a watered-down version. I’m sure this doesn’t have an easy answer but how do you journey without putting yourself at unnecessary risk while still being vulnerable enough to meet the spirits as they truly are?
