Mountain intimacies ...






... come to mind as you climb (or descend) the steep indigenous trails and steps along the cliffs formed by nature over countless years and the wonderful, close-up and touchable, plants and rock surfaces near Lucifer Falls in Robert Treman State Park (close to Ithaca, NY). If you go during the week as I did, you may find that you have the park pretty much to yourself. To me, there is no better way to explore. There are some risks of course, but the experience places you in touch with yourself ... Rather than feeling isolated, it is times like these ... that I feel "whole" and at peace - with a heightened appreciation for the 'grace' ... that set me free.
