“Parks represent the wildness inside us. They’re the place where we can be lonely, where we can experience solitude. They’re the place we go to as refuge, as sanctuary. It’s the place we go out to to come back in.” Gretel Ehrlich, Writer
Holy cow, what a statement. I think that is why I am so drawn to go back to Yosemite. It’s where I felt closest to my Creator. It’s where I felt most removed from the stresses of my life. It’s where I experienced solitude AND awe…at the same time.
June 2010. That’s my goal.
