Eagle Creek I began with frustration at a dead camera battery How could I capture the hike without it I had no choice but to experience it as Annie Dillard would with the photographic precision of her own silver-lined gut As I enter a new place with fear of the unknown I am astounded by the beauty of varied greens I couldn’t imagine existed The sounds of flowing creek and waterfalls, are magnificently deafening The arms of the tree giants reach out with dangling moss fingertips They beckon to caress, hold and protect me The trail walls weep with the joy of its own beauty I feel cleansed by the shower mother nature provides from it’s melting winter glory The falls feels like they want to both consume and cradle me I try to listen to the pace of place I dont want to leave I long to return again soon I will............ ~Jo~
