Meeting Meghan Walla-Murphy completely changed the way I do my reality. We connected over the ancient art of tracking, and until I joined her in a group of women, all intent on learning how to track the animals and wildlife around us, I had not really opened my eyes to this phenomenally important and intrinsic skill set.
Now, I cannot go a day, or hardly an hour without witnessing, listening, and paying lots of attention to the play of the wild world all around me. A world that I am part of, that is inextricably interwoven and interconnected to me and my life. For me, tracking has become this elemental dance of all the sights, sounds, sensations, and signs that I seek out and that seek me!
Interviewing Meghan, I felt eternally grateful for her efforts to live as a tracker in a modern paradigm that has forgotten how interconnected we all are to everything that is, and also I’m in awe of her commitment to spread the knowledge of this fundamental skill into the world.
