Imagine

I got this photo from Matt recently. He took this photo as we were leaving the Happy Boulders one evening. I love love love this image because it sums up what it is all about.

It was the end of the day, dusk was creeping as the light started fading. Ryan, Roger, and Emilia stopped at this unique artsy-looking boulder to wait for the rest of the laggers (aka Liam and I) to catch up. The boulder stood tall in the faint glow of the dusk sky with the beauty of the Sierras in the backdrop. It captivates the imagination and wonderment of all that transpired to etch such detail in its formation. Emilia went up to it in her own curiosity, carefully and exploratively felt and climbed up it.

Imagine the amount of time and natural elements and weather that created this. Imagine the human lifetimes and events that have occurred throughout this rock's formation... and imagine, in 15, 20 years.. (ok.. probably sooner than that) when my kids come back here when they are older, and this rock will still be there, with memories, familiarity, of their youth and time that we spent together out here.
