The
Story of the Secret Spot
Have you
ever really listened
to the sound of a river? I mean really listened to the raw
yet peaceful sound of the powerful flow of
a river?
Today, while
on a hike along a river, I heard it speak to me. It was
magic. The river called out to me and asked me to
follow it past the trail. Its spirit was mesmerizing
as I trekked along unexplored territory.
When I thought
that I couldn't travel any further, the river promised me
that I ony had a little further to go. My mind decided to
ignore my body and continue on this incredible journey.
Just as I had reached what appeared to be a dead end, I
crawled under a rock and then through a tiny little crevice.
That is when I saw it! The water was moving harmoniously
across a smooth curve int he rock and then cascading downward
about 25 feet onto a ledge. It was a shower made by Mother
Nature in all of her glory with a view like no other.
The integration
of land, water, air, and life was perfect. It was so therpeutic
just to sit quietly and allow myself to soak it all in.
I needed to enjoy this moment for as long as I possibly
could because I might not ever see it again. If that is
the case, I can at least share my experience with others
through these words. I know that I am not the first, nor
the will I be the last because the river will come calling
again.
I hope that
the river tells me how to get out of this place because
it is almost time for dinner!
