Sky Walking

Go up high in the mountains, on a nice day late in the winter. Way up above the New Green leaves there are days of light that are filled with magic. On bright clear afternoons endless sunlight falls through the tall trees, through bare branches lifted high as if in the yoga asana of podestina. By late March the sun is up more than twelve hours a day, and its energy falls, unfiltered by any leaves, straight upon the earth with enough power to split seeds and stir roots.
The trees are tall way up here, and they are respectably placed, somewhat apart from one another, not like those found in lower elevations. Up here we walk through a spacious park, a deer haven, a great forest offering deep vision. We quietly walk up here late in the winter, exploring a forest high in the sky and new places in our own soul.
