Asagiri 朝霧 is the word use in Japan to describe the creeping fog at dawn which lifts from bodies of water to envelope nearby areas of land. This phenomenon is so common in the lowlands to the west of Mt. Fuji that the area has come to receive the name Asagiri. I made this video in the morning after an overnight stay several kilometers from the base of the mountain. I had no idea at the time that a fog bank was rolling in and felt fortunate to capture the event on video. The original video footage was just under an hour in length which has been sped-up to the current time of roughly a minute and a half. I actually slept through the making of this video as I woke only long enough to set up the camera, configure my alarm and get back to bed.

THE PATH OF WILDNESS
The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast’s track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don’t bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
