It was a sort of fairytale day with castles, mists, springs, and danger lurking in the forest.
The Blue Hole Trail was no joke. At the trailhead, the sign read (in caps no less!):
“STRENUOUS USE EXTREME CAUTION”
Prince Charming read this, turned around, and started walking in the opposite direction.
“I didn’t intend to hike this trail,” said he.
She did what any self-respecting fairytale princess would do. Shrugging on the backpack, she started down the trail without him, not pausing for a backward glance. A few moments later he came along, grumbling.
There were lessons learned along the way. For example, hiking shoes matter, especially when the water is the trail! (…and also, when you have poo shoe, but that was a different lesson on a different trail). The new kicks were actually waterproof! Other hikers that had come before were clearly not as lucky. Along the trail they found the remains of one unfortunate soul’s sole that was not as keen as it claimed to be….
A witty bard once said, T’is better to have hiking shoes with waterproof soles than have a soul of dread
…or something like that.
The water really was the trail,
and Prince Charming made it all the way to the bottom…
and back up again!
Lyrics to "The Seed" A Song by the beautiful Aurora Aksnes (Photos by Lunar) Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle ...
... Just like the seed I'm chasing wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion ...
... Suffocate me so my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand so the flowers can grow back again ...
... 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forget ...
... Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers. ...
