Looking up...

Above us the trees towered.

The rock face was on our left
a respectable drop to the right.

Carefully we picked our way up and down the path.

The green moss on the walls had a texture that just begged to be touched.

The dusty trail called to us.

Up and down...
rock steps that countless others have traversed.

The beauty that is all around us...
has been here since long before I deemed it lovely...
and it will be a reality long after I am gone from this Earth.

Solid,
lasting,
wonderful.

It is easy to see
how our world was deemed,
"Good".

I invite you to make your own trek towards the Hocking Hills Region. More specifically, today I am endorsing the "Rock House" area. A good trail, not too busy, quiet... peaceful. Check it out at
