Mt. Tam is located outside San Francisco and was approached from two different directions:  Mill valley and the Pacific Ocean.  The foggy mist engulfed the first walk in the summer of 2015, on a rainy day with muted colours. The second walk was one month later that same year on a cool cloudy walk with abundant wildlife adventures including rattlesnakes.  Both visual and tactile walks inspired my poetic canvas. Gary Snyder's poem dedicated to a walk on Mt. Tam is the focus of this replay poetic canvas. In 1967 poets Snyder and Ginsberg proposed inviting people to walk a circle path of Mt. Tam.  They chanted Buddhist prayers at key points on the mountain in a long meditation which culminated in Snyder’s poem:  “The Circumambulation of Mt. Tamalpais.”  Snyder’s memorable walk has been repeated on an annual basis by residents of the San Francisco Bay and friends as encouraged by Snyder himself. The Buddhist chants in Snyder’s poem combined with my own inspirations from my visual and tactile walks are the base of this poetry series about Mt. Tam.
