Day 090f: A vibration of the View … (July 13, 2019)

When walking any significant distance, the pilgrim will regularly reach turnings in the path that disclose a new view that is as majestic as it is unanticipated. And that view appears – and is appreciated, there is always a stark vibration of the landscape; a vibration that shakes the walker awake; a vibration that is felt in the very core of the walker’s body & being. It is in such repeated moments that the pilgrim and his surroundings become one, with the harmony of their interconnected presences, like two strings strummed perfectly in tune, each feeding off the resonance of the other, is like an endless relaunch of life itself. Some have noted that this is an Eternal Recurrence – a continuous unfolding & recombining of the observer and the observed; the walker’s mobility dancing within the scintillating yet immobile landscape – a reunion that reminds the former over & over again: I am here; I have always been here; I am one with all I see, and I will be here evermore.” ~ inspired by Frédéric Gros
