The @penumbra Custom Title Thread

FWIW Walton’s Mountain is kind of a real place. Its Schuyler, Va. where Earl Hamner grew up. I lived just on the other side of the ridge from Schuyler when I was in high school.
Would it be presumptuous of me to call you Pa Walton? 😅
I'd love to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have a cousin in Asheville.
 
Love you guys & gals. I find all of this very flattering and amusing. A little background.
When I had a landscape business, my workers called me Dances with Trees.
Penumbra is a philosophical bent that came to me in a deep meditation and simply means Where Light Meets the Dark for me. ( or vice versa).
I love the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah and know that I wanted to live here when I was 8 years old. That was almost 68 years ago. I have never watched The Waltons but I had friends that did. It was a bit too cute for me. My first concert was Black Sabbath with Blue Oyster Cult. I have no favorite color, I celebrate them all but think they are without substance in the absence of white. I am an old Hippy and proud of it. A Devil's Advocate when I was younger, but came to terms with it because I was only arguing with another facet of myself. Starting moving plants around and gardening when I was 8, though no one in my family could understand it, especially when I referred to the plants as other beings. I am a bit odd, but I love being me. I believe that consciousness is an inherent aspect of everything, particularly notable in nature.
There, its out there now. You know me better than I know myself. ☮️ 🥰

How about Yin yang?

I think it's your oddness that appeals to (I would say us, but I don't want to speak for everyone) me. However odd you may be, you can't be odder than me!
 
1970 Alexandria , VA - twice
It was July 1972. The did Richmond and a few other places but the Alexandria shows are not in any archive I have found. It was a small venue and it was standing room only. I was not tripping, iy really happened. Someone trying to erase my past?
Found this.

Narrator's voice: "The year was 1972. @penumbra was a young man that summer in his journey of self-discovery near the end of an era. The Blue Ridge Mountains were almost as smoky as the small venue where two iconic rock legends were shredding riffs and beating the skins like there's never going to be another concert. Everyone in attendance will remember this event completely differently after inhaling these fumes..."

I change my custom title answer to "Sweet Shadow Leaf" 🤘

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
Oh, yeah
