Guardian

It was supposed to be a hiking trip but, turned into more than that; an experience like no other. Just around the sylvan bend, celestial light glowing; unearthly gossamer orb ethereal voice warning, “there’s a cliff ahead!” Miracles do happen, I’ve lived to tell the tale; if I’d walked one more yard I’d be floating down Styx.

We have a gorge here and too many people have ended up at the bottom. Thanks.
