Day 13

I have come here many times over the years, to this stream, to the smooth sculptured rock, to the vegetation that glows with a surreal luminescence. We all connect to the world around us in ways we cannot always comprehend, swept into the mystery of place, influenced by the power of topography and climate. This vale holds a sacredness that speaks to me, creating revelations that spark movement. Here marked the beginning and end of a 19-mile venture I undertook because I believed, because I committed to the possibility of undertaking something beyond my known limitations.
