New England Yearly Meeting sessions-August 2022-Castleton Vermont-Part two

Finally, yesterday I was able to renew my exploration of this portion of earth. In two phases: short walk along the old RR trail thru the campus, under a voluminous sky, billowing as the cold front passes thru (of course I photographed), and later a longer walk to the Amtrak station on the walk path, remembering, observing, pondering. As I said in my home group talking about my two walks, engaging with the local terrain is always a feature of my travels, but also more regularly now I try to imagine life before white settlers, when native people for some 15 centuries were the human inhabitants.
