Wow, my fingers were really hurting for while there from the rope burn. Couldn't type, couldn't even open or close my hand really. So I ran them under cold water and elevated my arm for a long time straight up. That was weird, cuz my fingers were throbbing and everytime my heart would beat, the area around the burns would flash red then go back to white. I'm treating them with aloe vera, teatree oil, and vitamin e, and if I get a chance, I'm gonna meditate and visualize them healing. If I wash dishes tomorrow for work and they hurt this much, I'll be in so much pain. Burning hot water, fun fun. I still can't believe how much damage that rope did for only sliding a few inches. I definitely don't think I'll do any sketchy climbing again without harnesses and the whole get-up.
This is Julia 'Butterfly' Hill. She camped 180-feet above ground in a 100 year-old redwood tree in California for 738 days to protest the surrounding forest from being cut down:
"I suddenly realized that what I was feeling was the love of the Earth, the love of Creation. Every day we, as a species, do so much to destroy Creation's ability to give us life. But that Creation continues to do everything in its power to give us life anyway. And that's true love."
