A foggy day of utter solitude.

 

The hike to Owyhigh Lakes at Mt. Rainier was especially beautiful.  It was a foggy day, and there was absolutely NO ONE else on the trail, which added a special sense of solitude.  It is during these times of solitude that I experience a greater sense of the echo-like nature of human individuality and the realness of my relationship to the larger, more cosmic Divine.
