Wilderness
to me is a getaway from the everyday practices of life. A home
away from home. A home for the spirit and the soul. A place
to be inspired and awed. A place made by the beauty of God.
I see the
whole world around me, mountains and trees all around me; massive
granite slabs, little plants that somehow make it at 10,000
feet.
I feel the ant crawling up my leg, the warm sun at my back and
the cool breeze on my face. I can also feel the granite slab
I'm laying on that's surprisingly comfortable.
I hear the bees buzzing around, a nearby hiker munching on some
grub. And, in some extended moments of time, complete silence.
I smell sweat, haha. I can smell mint, as there is a plant next
to me. And best of all, fresh mountain air.
I can taste the nasty iodine water, not only when I drink it,
but when I burp too. But I can also taste victory and oh how
sweet it is.
Inside, I feel calm, aloof, relaxed. Alls I want to do is just
chill and watch the view. Screw cameras, Kodak can't mimic this
image!
