Bad Bear!! Bad Bear!!
It was just a few months ago, I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water when I saw a large bear outside the kitchen slider. I just stood there thinking how scarey this brown bear was but also in the same moment admiring his massiveness,strength and beauty. Wow, I was just steps away from this majestic animal. The moon glistened on his fur as his body swayed from side to side as he lumbered along. Then all of a sudden he sensed me looking at him. He stopped moving, turned his head and focused his eyes directly on me, his breath steaming the glass on the door. I stopped breathing, I felt paralyzed What would he do next now that he sees me? What should I do? My mind just started racing with a million thoughts going though it and none of which were coherent. Time stood still as my mind abandoned me in this millisecond of need.Then all of a sudden I got the brilliant idea, as if recalling some piece of information I had read or heard on somewhere to clap my hands together as loud as possible and yell at the bear.......BAD BEAR!!!!! BAD BEAR!!!!!!! The air began returning to my lungs as I shouted at the bear, the adrenaline rushing through my veins and my legs shaking like a child's rattle. I really had no clue what the hell I was doing and if this was even what I was supposed to do.
The bear reciprocated by standing up on his hind legs towering at 9-10 feet (he actually looked more like 50 feet to me) and throwing his front paws and his body at the glass slider repeatedly, shaking the walls of the condo and of course roaring!!!!!!!!!!!
For what seemed like forever I stood there in shock. Frozen, breathless and in total disbelief that this was happening. Every muscle and nerve in my body was shaking as I was about to overdose on Adrenalin. Holy S***T!!!!!!!!! I couldn't even scream, no sound was coming out of my mouth, my legs were glued to the ground as I watched this massive animal roar and hurl itself at the glass slider impressing upon me its size and strength. My mind kept saying " I got it, I got, your big, your strong, now go away!!!!!!!!" Finally I was freed from the grips of the floor and my mouth uttered a "horror movie" blood curdling scream and I ran up stairs I don't even remember my feet touching the steps. The screaming that came from me would have won an Oscar for special effects. The helacious sound I made woke everyone up and I nervously explained what was happening down stairs. Cautiously, we peeked down the stairs to the kitchen. All was silent! What? How could this be? As we all tentatively made our way down stairs in fear we would ran into my Brown Bear Nightmare we found nothing. Nothing! I tell you there was no sign of the bear! Its like he vanished. How could that be, he was so big, how could he move so fast? He was right there!!!!!
Sure enough he left a calling card for me,his paw prints were smattered all over glass slider. He was just teaching me a life lesson to back off and that he was not a "bad bear" and you know what, I got it!! I will always remember this night. The Mammoth Brown Bear and I meet at my high altitude experience which by the way far surpasses any boarding experience I have had. I am grateful for this encounter and truly appreciate and respect this wild animal especially since he did not eat me!
