Hiking with crowds
We went hiking with countless others inside Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. The tallest tree in the park is about 285 feet tall, and about 16 feet wide. The oldest trees in the park are about 1400 to 1800 years old. It feels like some ancient spirit is swallowing up our human ego and splashes it up in those branches and streams. The self-importance that I normally carry in every conversation has to subside and I have to shut up…I was listening in awe to what those elves were bubbling…
As I trailed along the path where Zayante Indians once lived, and where they found shelter, water and game; I could hear a whisper that reminded me: I am on this planet for a blink of an eye.
