Holy Hike Day

Looking west from the loop road around Tortugas
Dr. K, Becca and I did a hike on the loop road near Tortugas (Tortoise) Mountain this morning.  Dr. K and I did a lot of reminiscing about my mother, who died recently.  There's something comforting about being out in the natural world when you're questioning issues of life and death.  The natural world--totally apart from the human-made environment--is proof (to me) that something much greater exists than that which our puny imaginations can envision.
