“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.” Joseph Campbell
The fruit of adolescence recaptured
that old reckless abandon,
a fearless letting go returned
as I came across the first stone,
I was moved, overcome, and I cast
myself upon the sweet-smelling earth,
kicking off my shoes in a Moses moment,
daring to touch this sacred ground
the very core of me.

Sometimes I wonder that any eyes out there must think I’m mad when I stop to exult.

It’s a beautiful place. The path up to the top was very eroded, so we were pulling ourselves up by grabbing onto tree roots.
