Behind the waterfall.
A waterfall walk through a woodland valley filled with the sound of rushing water. Every vista was impossibly picturesque.
The best waterfall is one you can walk behind. There were a lot of people who had come to do this, picking their way across the very slippery rocks to stand behind the curtain of water.
The energy and moisture in the air makes it difficult to breathe deeply. The waterfall's voice fills the ears.
I leaned against the mossy rocks, looked at the water before me, and burst into tears.
And then back onto the path, as more people came to spend some moments behind the waterfall.

Well I don't suppose it's any coincidence that water has always been so important in spiritual traditions, it certainly has a powerful impact on us, and waterfalls are about as strident a force as we can imagine - hypnotic too I always think.
ReplyDeleteAren't humans mostly made of water? Perhaps it's really our element. And it's the energy too. It's similar to the feeling of a thunderstorm.
