Not entirely rational

[gfish]

Which inanimate objects do you greet? There have always been trees in my life that I've been particularly courteous to. Mt. Rainier will often get a respectful nod from me. If the moon is especially brilliant I'll say hello, and Orion will almost always get a genial "How's it hanging?" out of me. It just seems polite.

I'd have to go with thewronghands about kami. That tends to be my guide, too. The moon is a definite. Particular mountains, such as Rainier, Baker, and Whitehorse (http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.php?object_id=152881) (I grew up in its shadow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrington,_Washington)), are always greeted. Specific trees and large rocks with which I have long term relationships get greeted. I also talk to the little animals and birds, as well as hug trees, so I'm a bit odd. ^_^

I'm funny in wilderness that's new to me, as I often walk slowly, stopping to pet and/or greet trees and rocks that strike me, and poke in all the odd corners.
