6. Star Turn OR The Silence of a Vacuum

The womb is an incredibly noisy place, so much so that newborns aren’t accustomed to silence until several months after birth. At Cherry Springs State Park, a field in the remotest regions of the Pennsylvania mountains, I wonder if I’m taking longer than the average baby to adjust to the outside world. Determined to move in contrast to the “BFE,” I schedule myself for three days at the park; upon arriving, I’m immediately overwhelmed by the uncommon lack of structure and noise. Off Track’s sixth essay details this 60-hour period of isolation during which I struggle to truly embrace the values I claim to champion.
