No Feelings At All Until

it was one of those gorgeous days
mountain aiir was pine needle fresh and clear
let’s climb this tree, I suggested.
my cousin Slim had a weird feeling about it.
he wanted to walk on.
I insisted, having no feelings at all
until I was face to face with a mountain lion forty feet up

Well, I'll bet you scrambled down a lot quicker than you shinnied up.

I was inspired by a close up photo of a large mountain lion
