Beneath the surface

Ah.. A bit tired today. I’ve not completely recovered from my desert trek last night. It’s raining outside thou, big, beautiful drops playing their song as they drum away on the tent. The jungle smells fantastic in the summer rain. Still, I can’t bring myself to do anything else then dig today. Digging sooths me and mends my aching bones. My bag is always packed with my beloved pick, even on my treks. But its not often that I give myself the time to enjoy an evening of digging. Which is of course sad. There is so much more to Atys then what is revealed on the surface. You can trek the whole word and missed so much of what it has to offer. You have the flowers, the trees, all the animals. Everything fills you with awe. But start to dig a little deeper and you’ll find a whole new world of wonder. Ma-Duk gives, in so many ways. There is a kind of art to foraging too, much like magic is an art. You have to know where to dig, what you seek and a lot more that I myself haven’t even begun to master yet.

I’ve been doing much of my digging down in the Grove of Umbra lately. I wont tell you exactly where in the Grove thou. It’s my little secret. But Ma-Duk has really blessed the Grove with a rich soil. I can find all I need for my axes in a very small area. And.. There is also a few wombaï close by who likes to join me and peck around in the newly dug soil. This way I can both practice on my foraging techniques, get the materials I need to make axes and be close to my beloved wombaï. Well... There isn’t really much more to be said about today. I’m to tired to do any trekking and to tired to write anything more about my digging. I simply have to say goodbye early today. Hopefully I will have something more interesting to write about tomorrow.
