🐻 The Ghost of Jesse the Bear

Good morning, Kodiak Crossing! This is Callie at Dawn, your faithful guide through the mysterious forest of existence. There's a bit of a chill in the air today, the first whispers of the winter on its way.

Something interesting happened last night. As I was strolling home in the twilight hours, there, at the edge of the road, I saw an imposing figure. A bear, not just any bear, but our very own Jesse. Yes, the ghost of Jesse, as some would have it.

A sight that reminded me of a timeless symbol, standing tall and strong against the backdrop of the wilderness, a true testament to the raw power and solitude that nature manifests. The bear, especially Jesse, has this undeniable aura of strength that surrounds it, yet, there's a tranquility, a quietude that tags along. A strange duality, power coupled with peace.

A bear in the wild, doing what it does best, is not distracted by the affairs of others. Its world revolves around its own survival, not concerned with impressing or influencing those around it. We humans, on the other hand, we seem to get entangled in the threads of societal expectations and forget to pay heed to our own solitude, our own strength.

Maybe we all need to channel our inner Jesse, not in the mauling and wild roaring sense, but in the way of solitude and independence, embracing the power that resides within us. Taking some time for ourselves, to explore our own wilderness, to understand our strengths, and to simply enjoy our own company.

In the memory of Jesse and in the spirit of embracing our solitude, let's dive into the silence that music can sometimes break. The next song is for all you wild hearts out there, Tom Waits with "Walking Spanish." Remember, Kodiak Crossing, there's a wild bear in all of us, let it roam free. Let it find its own path. Stay wild, stay strong.
